The Klyxum spp. (Colt) is a captivating soft coral known for its finger-like, leathery polyps that gently sway in aquarium currents. This extra large specimen offers a bold presence in any marine reef setup, adding texture and movement to your coral collection.
Care Level: Moderate – best suited for aquarists with some experience in soft coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of approximately 50-100. Avoid intense direct lighting to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement encourages healthy polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position in mid to lower regions of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are stable. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods like phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally peaceful but can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain distance from sensitive species.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; growth rates vary depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended from 75 litres upwards to accommodate growth and water quality stability.
Regular monitoring of water parameters and stable conditions will ensure your Klyxum spp. thrives, providing a dynamic and natural aesthetic to your marine aquarium.
