(View AKA's) - Family: Discosomidae
- Species: Mushroom Rhodactis
- Scientific Name: Rhodactis sp
General info about Bright Green Blue Rhodactis
In general, mushroom corals coming from the genus Rhodactis 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.
This are the water parameters for cultivating Bright Green Blue Rhodactis:
- 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
Bright Green Blue Rhodactis Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Bright Green Blue Rhodactis 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 Bright Green Blue Rhodactis
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Bright Green Blue Rhodactis. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Bright Green Blue Rhodactis
The Bright Green Blue Rhodactis requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Bright Green Blue Rhodactis Origin
The Bright Green Blue Rhodactis can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Bright Green Blue Rhodactis
The Bright Green Blue Rhodactis has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Bright Green Blue Rhodactis
The Bright Green Blue Rhodactis is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Bright Green Blue Rhodactis
The Bright Green Blue Rhodactis has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
