Cyphastrea spp. (Ultra) Tank-Bred Coral Frag is a captivating addition to any marine reef aquarium. This cultured large polyp stony (LPS) coral is prized for its vibrant colours and textured appearance, making it a popular choice among hobbyists seeking to enhance their reefscape.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and health. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 100-200 µmol/m²/s suit this coral well.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage. Avoid direct strong currents that may stress the coral.
Placement: Position the frag on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the tank, allowing adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. It coexists well with most peaceful reef inhabitants.
Feeding: While Cyphastrea spp. benefit from photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods can enhance growth.
Origin and Cultivation: This frag is tank-bred, cultivated under controlled conditions to ensure sustainability and reduce wild collection impact.
