This are the water parameters for cultivating Jack O Killer Litho: </p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> <li>pH: 8.1 - 8.4</li> </ul> </div> </div>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">In the wild, Jack O Killer Litho 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.</span></p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Jack O Killer Litho. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.</p>

<p>The Jack O Killer Litho requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.</p>

<p>The Jack O Killer Litho can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They are classified as a near threatened species and has been placed under Appendix II of the CITES list.</p>
