Spotted Discosoma (Discosoma spp) – Grade A Frag (1 Ear) is a popular soft coral choice for marine reef aquariums due to its vibrant spotted appearance and ease of care. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy and resilient specimens.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures, to maintain vibrant colours without causing bleaching. Avoid intense direct light.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement is recommended to prevent sediment accumulation on the coral surface and to promote healthy polyp extension.
Placement: Position the frag on stable rockwork in the lower to middle regions of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are suitable. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or overgrowth.
Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists due to its hardy nature.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid potential irritation.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional supplemental feeding of microplankton or coral foods.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters typical for reef tanks: temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels. Regular monitoring and water changes will support optimal health.
