Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Tank:
- Rapid Space Filler: This large, mature colony delivers a massive immediate visual impact, serving as the perfect backdrop or filler piece.
- Unique Ruffled Textures: Its flat, leafy lobes contrast beautifully with the geometric shapes of branching corals or rounded brain corals.
- Bulletproof Durability: Highly adaptable to variations in water chemistry and lighting, making it virtually indestructible for hobbyists.
- Periodic Regenerative Shedding: Naturally rids itself of accumulating debris and film algae by periodically shedding a waxy outer layer, re-emerging cleaner and larger each time.
Quick Care Parameters:
- Lighting: Moderate to High (PAR 120 - 250). While highly adaptable to low light, it stretches and develops its brightest hues under brighter reef fixtures.
- Water Flow: Moderate to Strong. Generous water movement is necessary to help it shed its waxy layer completely.
- Placement: Mid-to-Upper Rockwork or Open Substrate. Give it plenty of physical space to spread out.
- Diet: Primarily photosynthetic. It sustains itself easily on light, but appreciates weekly broadcast feedings of phytoplankton or liquid organic foods.
