More Details

General info about Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus

In general, mushroom corals coming from the genus Actinodiscus are classified as a false coral without a skeleton, although their internal structures are the same with stony corals. Their stalk is very small that is located just above the pedal disc which is the area where they attach themselves to the substrate.

As for the Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus, they are predominantly colored orange with red strands and violet mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus: 

  • Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 - 10
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4

Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus Diet & Nutrition

In the wild, Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae that is living within their tissues. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton and you may add dissolved organics in the water.

Fragging / Propagating Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus

The Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.

Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus Origin

The Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

Caution Should be Taken with Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus

The Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.

How to Acclimate Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus

The Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.

Stinging Tentacles on Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus

The Poletti Lineage Jawbreaker Actinodiscus has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
