Parazoanthus gracilis (Yellow) | S

Parazoanthus gracilis (Yellow) is a striking soft coral known for its bright yellow polyps that add a splash of colour and dynamic movement to reef tanks. This small-sized specimen is ideal for hobbyists looking to introduce a hardy and visually appealing polyp colony to their marine aquarium.

Care Level: Moderate care requirements make this coral suitable for intermediate aquarists. It thrives best under stable water conditions and moderate lighting.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a balanced spectrum. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the polyps gently swaying without causing tissue damage.

Placement: Place on rockwork or substrate with enough space to allow for colony expansion. Maintain adequate spacing from aggressive corals to prevent chemical or physical competition.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours.

Origin: Not Provided.

Maximum Size: Colonies can expand over time, but individual polyps remain small.

Minimum Tank Size: 30 litres (approx. 8 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.

Regular monitoring of water quality and stable parameters will ensure the health and vibrancy of your Parazoanthus gracilis. This coral is a beautiful addition to any soft coral or mixed reef setup.
