Sprung Stunner Echinopora

<div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, corals from the Genus Echinopora have large coral colonies that are circular in shape and takes in the form of massive, submassive and encrusting type. Their corallite walls are not well pronounced, but their mouth can be clearly spotted which is usually elevated.</p> <p>For the Sprung Stunner Echinopora, they are predominatly colored yellow brown with green mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Sprung Stunner Echinopora:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 -10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>74° - 83° F (23° <strong>- </strong>28° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> </ul> </div> </div>

<p>Sprung Stunner Echinopora can survive without feeding courtesy from the nourishment it recieves from the symbiotic zooxanthellae that is living within them. However, they will not grow in to a bigger colony. With this and for faster growth, you need to feed them with supplemental foods like krill, mysis or brine shrimp. The addition of dissolved organics is also recommended.</p>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Sprung Stunner Echinopora. They need to be set at the bottom portion of the tank where lighting and flow rate are in moderation.</span></p>

<p>Sprung Stunner Echinopora<span class="subListHeading1"> requires moderate lighting and moderate water flow. Too much water flow causes the polyps to be retracted and feeding cannot take place.</span></p>

<p>Sprung Stunner Echinopora can be found in the Indo-west Pacific Ocean.</p>

<p>Sprung Stunner Echinopora must be set in the tank with enough spacing in relation to other coral species.</p>

<p>Since the Sprung Stunner Echinopora is a marine species, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity</span>. They should be immediately set to its receiving substrate like rocks and be permanently positioned using gel glue so that the colonization process can commence.</p>

<p>Sprung Stunner Echinopora have long sweeper tentacles. If they are set near to another coral, they will extend out their tentacles and invade other polyps which has been proven to cause mortality.</p>
