General info about Mango Frosty Litho
In general, corals coming from the genus Lithophyllon have colonies that may take the form of plates, encrusting or flat laminae and usually has a lobed margin. Their corallites are scaterred in a random order and has no central corallite. They often have a uniform color and their tentacles may extend during daytim.
This are the water parameters for cultivating Mango Frosty Litho:
- 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
Mango Frosty Litho Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Mango Frosty 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.
Fragging / Propagating Mango Frosty Litho
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Mango Frosty Litho. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Mango Frosty Litho
The Mango Frosty Litho requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Mango Frosty Litho Origin
The Mango Frosty 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.
Caution Should be Taken with Mango Frosty Litho
The Mango Frosty Litho has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Mango Frosty Litho
The Mango Frosty Litho is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Mango Frosty Litho
The Mango Frosty Litho has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
