Pavona explanulata is a distinctive large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its unique plate-like growth and textured surface. This frag is cultured and grown by DJM, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens suitable for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for Pavona explanulata. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching, but ensure sufficient illumination to support photosynthesis.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is recommended to keep the coral clean and promote healthy growth without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Place this frag in a stable location with enough space to allow for expansion. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and overgrowth.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised LPS coral feeds.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to medium plate sizes within a reef tank environment.
Ensure stable water parameters with regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium to support skeletal growth. This cultured frag is an excellent addition to a mixed reef setup, offering unique texture and form.
