General info about Pink n Green Polyps Stylophora Coral
In general, corals coming from the genus Stylophora usually has a branching type of coral growth. Depending on the species, their finger-like branches are highly variable when it comes to length and width. Their colony usually forms a dome with a depression at the middle which looks similar to a bird's nest.
For the Pink n Green Polyps Stylophora Coral , they are predominatly colored yellow brown with pink and green tentacles. This are the water parameters for cultivating Pink n Green Polyps Stylophora Coral :
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKh)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 10
- Temperature: 74° - 83° F (23° - 28° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
Pink n Green Polyps Stylophora Coral Diet & Nutrition
Majority of the nourishment of the Pink n Green Polyps Stylophora Coral comes from the photosynthetic activity of the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. On top of this, we recommend you still do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp. They also have the ability to absrob nutrients in the water. So, adding dissolved nutrients is also important.
