Discosoma neglecta is a visually striking soft coral favoured by marine aquarists for its vibrant colours and hardy nature. This premium frag (1 ear) is tank-bred and cultivated under optimal conditions to ensure excellent health and colour vibrancy.
Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate reef keepers due to its resilience and adaptability.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. Discosoma neglecta thrives under LED or T5 lighting systems providing medium PAR levels, avoiding intense direct light which can cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is recommended to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position the frag on stable rockwork in shaded or semi-shaded areas of the aquarium. Provide adequate spacing from aggressive corals to prevent chemical warfare and physical damage.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This species is generally peaceful but can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, benefiting from regular feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods to support growth and colour.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to a few centimetres in diameter per polyp; size varies with tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: 30 litres (8 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable reef conditions will ensure your Discosoma neglecta frag thrives and adds vibrant colour to your marine aquarium.
