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