The Green Rhodactis coral (Rhodactis spp) is a popular soft coral choice for marine reef aquariums, prized for its bright green colour and unique texture. This Grade A frag is tank-bred and cultivated under controlled conditions to ensure health and vibrancy.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for hobbyists with some reef experience.
Lighting: Prefers moderate lighting conditions; avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to encourage polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Place on rockwork or substrate with adequate space around to prevent aggression or overgrowth of neighbouring corals. Rhodactis spp. can expand significantly, so allow room for growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally peaceful but can release toxins or overgrow nearby corals if placed too closely.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Tank Size: No strict minimum, but a mature reef tank of at least 60 litres is recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
This frag is ideal for aquarists looking to add a splash of green colour and interesting texture to their reef setup. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters will ensure long-term health.
