Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora

<div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, Astrepora corals have colonies that are rounded or dome-shaped. Their corallites are distinct, separated and uneven while their exoskeleton are porous.</p> <p>For the Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora, they are predominatly colored purple with blue circles at the tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.5 MEQ/L</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1350 - 1500</li> <li>Strontium: 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.024 - 1.025</li> </ul> </div>

<p>The main noursihment of Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora comes from the photosynthetic activity of the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. However, we still recommend the supplemental feeding of mysis, brine shrimp and other micro foods.</p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora. They should be set in the middle or bottom portion of the tank.</p>

<p>The Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora requires moderate water flow and low lighting. This is the reason why you should set them at the middle or bottom of the tank.</p>

<p>Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora are found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

<p>The Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora is susceptible to polychaete worm infestation. The worms will penetrate to its porous exoskeleton thereby weakening its overall calcareous structure.</p>

<p>Fiji Purple Blue Astreopora are purely marine. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>
