General info about Nano Elegance Coral

The Nano Elegance Coral has a close resemblance to sea anemones since they have relatively long tentacles. Regardless if night or day, their tentacles are always exposed and out showing their elegant color, especially with the right lghting rquirement.

As for the Nano Elegance Coral, it is predominantly colored pink tentacles with white tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Nano Elegance Coral:

  • Calcium: 420 - 430 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1280 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 -10 mg/L
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4

Nano Elegance Coral Diet & Nutrition

While the Nano Elegance Coral gets it primary nourishment from a symbiotic zooxanthellae living within its tissues, they require supplemental feeding like the addition of mysis or brine shrimp. We also recommend the addition of dissolved nutrients.

Fragging / Propagating Nano Elegance Coral

A mature tank is highly recommened in cultivating Nano Elegance Coral. They should be set on the bottom part of the tank. In setting them, make sure to place their skeletal foundation to a soft rubble to prevent flesh irritation.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Nano Elegance Coral

The Nano Elegance Coral requires moderate lighting and low to medium waterflow.

Nano Elegance Coral Origin

The Nano Elegance Coral can be found in the waters of Western Central Atlantic and in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They are now considered as a vulnerable species and has been listed under Appendix II of the CITES list, which means that their international trade is monitored.

Caution Should be Taken with Nano Elegance Coral

The Nano Elegance Coral has an aggressive behaviour. So, you have to give them ample space between corals. This is on top of the fact that their long tentacles can sting and invade nearby polyps.

How to Acclimate Nano Elegance Coral

Nano Elegance Coral are purely marine species. Therefore, salinity must be entirely maintained from 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.

Stinging Tentacles on Nano Elegance Coral

The long tentacles of the Nano Elegance Coral are considered sweeper tentacles. This means that it will try to reach nearby coral polyps while invading their colony. You also have to remember that their stinging tentacles can also irritate a human flesh. So, wearing gloves in handling them is highly recommended.
