Water Parameters:
Temperature: 76-80°F (24-27°C)
Salinity: 1.025 SG (35 PPT)
pH: 8.1-8.4
Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH
Calcium: 400-450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm
Feeding & Nutrition:
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from amino acids, phytoplankton, and coral foods to enhance growth and color.
Compatibility & Challenges:
Fast grower but can be sensitive to parameter swings.
Fragile branches—handle with care when fragging.
Requires stable water chemistry to prevent bleaching or tissue loss.
