The Rhodactis spp. (Orange) Ultra is a stunning soft coral frag prized for its vivid orange colour and unique texture. This tank-bred specimen is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring robust health and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in coral husbandry. This coral requires moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems designed for reef aquaria. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement helps maintain coral health and prevents detritus accumulation without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position the frag on a stable rock or substrate area with adequate space around it to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Rhodactis spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals to reduce competition and stress.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Origin: Not Provided – tank-bred in controlled aquaculture facilities.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to a few centimetres across per ear frag, expanding with time under optimal conditions.
This cultured frag is an excellent choice for adding vibrant colour and texture to a reef tank while supporting sustainable aquaculture practices.
