The Galaxea spp. (Green) frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant green hues and distinctive star-like polyps. Cultured and grown by DJM, this frag offers a sustainable and reliable option for marine aquarists seeking to enhance their reef tanks with a visually striking coral.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems providing a PAR range of approximately 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure the polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position the frag on stable rockwork in the middle to lower sections of the aquarium to balance light and flow exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Diet: Galaxea spp. benefit from supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week to promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can exhibit sweeper tentacles that may sting nearby corals, so maintain a safe distance.
Origin: Not Provided – cultured in captivity by DJM.
Maximum Size: Not Provided – growth rates vary depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
Regular water changes, stable water chemistry, and maintaining calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels within optimal ranges are essential for the health of this coral.
