n general, corals coming from the genus Mycedium takes the flat, laminar plane or plate type of coral growth. Their colonies have several plates that may originate from different points or planes. One distinct characteristics for a Mycedium coral is that their corallites are raised, tubular and has angular outward growth that forms a shape resembling like a nose.

 

This are the water parameters for cultivating Neon Green Meteor Shower Chalice Mycedium:

  • Calcium: 380 - 430 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 - 10
  • Temperature: 74° - 82° F (23° - 27° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025

Neon Green Meteor Shower Chalice Mycedium Diet & Nutrition

The Neon Green Meteor Shower Chalice Mycedium gets much of its nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. However, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp.

Fragging / Propagating Neon Green Meteor Shower Chalice Mycedium
