The Rhodactis inchoata (Blue) is an eye-catching soft coral prized for its vibrant blue coloration and unique texture. This extra large specimen offers a bold statement piece for any marine reef aquarium, providing natural movement and a splash of colour.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. This species is relatively hardy but benefits from stable water parameters and moderate lighting.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. Too intense lighting may cause bleaching, while too low light can reduce growth and vibrancy.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to ensure debris is removed without damaging the delicate tissue.
Placement: Place on rockwork or substrate with adequate space around it to prevent aggression or overgrowth of neighbouring corals. This coral can expand significantly when healthy, so spacing is important.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or competition. Avoid placing near aggressive corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific foods.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
