Micromussa amakusensis (Super Red) is a stunning coral species prized for its intense red pigmentation and intricate polyp structure. This WYSIWYG frag is an excellent choice for marine aquarists looking to add a splash of vibrant colour to their reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid colours without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 100-200 are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps to keep the coral healthy by facilitating nutrient exchange and waste removal while preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower sections of the aquarium to balance light exposure and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in coral husbandry. Consistent water parameters and stable conditions are essential for optimal growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Micromussa amakusensis can exhibit aggressive tendencies via sweeper tentacles, so maintain distance from other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as coral-specific liquid feeds or finely chopped marine plankton.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, will support healthy skeletal growth. Frag plugs or rock bases are included for easy placement.
