Red Sea Fan

<div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, sea fans coming from the genus Swiftia has a single main stem that arises from a small and narrow base. This genus of sea fan is sparsely branched and small in size that usually measures only 80 millimeter (3 inches) in height on the average. Their polyps are arranged irregularly and each polyp is supported by 8 spindle-like sclerites which is a spiny skeletal structure.</p> <p>As for the Red Sea Fan, they are predominantly colored red with white tentacles. This are the water parameters for cultivating Red Sea Fan:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 420 - 440 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.259 MEQ/L (8 <strong>- </strong>12 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: > 0.10 mg/L</li> <li>Magnesium: 1260 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 -10 mg/L</li> <li>Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° <strong>- </strong>26° C)</li> <li>Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025</li> <li>pH: 8.1 - 8.4</li> </ul> </div> </div>

<div class="diet_nutrition"> <div class="diet_nutrition"> <p><span class="quick_stat_value">The Red Sea Fan is not a photosynthetic species.

<p><span class="quick_stat_label">The <span class="quick_stat_value">Red Sea Fan should be placed at the bottom portion of the tank. You may need a gel glue or putty to fasten them on an exposed rock.</span></span></p>

<p><span class="quick_stat_label">The Red Sea Fan only requires minimal lighting but a strong flow of water. This is the reason why they should be placed at the bottom of the tank.</span></p>

<p>The Red Sea Fan are a subtropical species found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, particularly in the USA and Canada.</p>

<p><span class="quick_stat_label">While the Red Sea Fan is not aggressive, you still need to give ample space between other species corals. What you should be cautious is during the handling process since the branches are highly brittle and can easily break off.</span></p>

<p>Red Sea Fan are purely marine species. Therefore, salinity must be entirely maintained from 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.</p>
