Psammocora spp. (Branched) is a medium-sized large polyp stony (LPS) coral belonging to the Agariciidae family. Known for its distinctive branched growth form, this coral adds unique texture and structure to reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy pigmentation and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide balanced PAR levels are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure adequate gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position the coral in a location with enough space to accommodate its branched structure. Ensure it is placed away from aggressive neighbours to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Care Level: Psammocora spp. requires stable water parameters and consistent care but is generally considered suitable for intermediate aquarists.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid competition and aggression.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific supplements can support growth.
Origin and Size: Origin and maximum size are not precisely provided; however, medium-sized specimens are suitable for a variety of reef setups.
