Micromussa spp. are popular Large Polyp Stony (LPS) corals prized for their vibrant colours and fleshy polyps. This tiny tank-bred specimen is perfect for hobbyists looking to add a splash of colour to their reef aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light which can cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the coral’s polyps gently moving without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular feeding will promote growth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Regular monitoring of water quality and maintaining calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels within recommended ranges will support healthy skeletal growth.
