Pavona maldivensis (Orange) is a stunning LPS coral prized for its bright orange hues and unique plate-like growth form. This tiny tank-bred specimen is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to introduce vibrant colour and interesting texture to their reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid coloration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a PAR range of 100-200 µmol/m²/s work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure the coral receives adequate nutrients while preventing tissue damage from strong currents.
Placement: Position Pavona maldivensis in the middle to lower sections of the tank, allowing enough space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression or shading. This species can grow plate-like structures that may extend over time.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with experience in maintaining stable water parameters and moderate lighting conditions.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing too close to aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or marine snow to support growth.
Origin: Tank-bred in controlled aquaculture environments, ensuring sustainable sourcing and acclimatisation to aquarium conditions.
With proper care, this tiny Pavona maldivensis will develop into a captivating feature in your marine reef setup.
