Seriatopora guttatus (Green) is a striking small-sized SPS coral prized for its vivid green colouration and delicate branching growth form. This species adds intricate texture and vibrant hues to mature reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is essential to support photosynthesis and maintain the coral’s bright green pigmentation. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is recommended to prevent detritus accumulation and promote healthy polyp extension.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and tissue damage.
Care Level: This coral is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing too close to aggressive corals.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but will benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15 cm in branching height under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 75 litres or larger to maintain stable water parameters.
