Oxypora spp. are prized large polyp stony (LPS) corals known for their vibrant colours and textured, plate-like growth forms. This premium cultured frag is carefully grown to ensure healthy, acclimatised specimens suitable for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting: Oxypora spp. thrive under moderate lighting conditions. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 100-150 µmol/m²/s are ideal to support their photosynthetic needs without causing stress.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to gently remove detritus and deliver nutrients without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium to balance light exposure and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Oxypora spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with experience in maintaining stable water parameters and reef conditions.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near highly aggressive species.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional supplemental feeding with coral foods such as phytoplankton or marine snow can promote growth and vibrancy.
This frag is cultured and acclimatised, making it a sustainable choice for hobbyists seeking to enhance their reef display with premium LPS corals.
