Green Branching Turbinaria

<div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, corals from the genus Turbinaria has a shape that resembles like a cone or cup. They may also take the form of ruffled ridges, plates, vases, or scrolls. Their polyps are usually exteneded all the time and may project in a vertical or horizontal position.</p> <p>For the Green Branching Turbinaria, they are predominatly colored neon green with light blue mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Green Branching Turbinaria:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 -10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° <strong>- </strong>26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> <li>pH: 8.1 - 8.4</li> </ul> </div>

<p>The Green Branching Turbinaria get its primary nourishment from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. But despite this, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding brine shrimp and mysis.</p>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Green Branching Turbinaria. They need to be set at the bottom portion of the tank where lighting and flow rate are in moderation.</span></p>

<p>Green Branching Turbinaria requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.</p>

<p>Green Branching Turbinaria can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They are now a vulnerable species and has been listed under Appendix II of the CITES list, which means that their international trade is monitored. </p>

<p>Green Branching Turbinaria is not aggressive an aggressive species. However, we still recommend you give them ample space with other corals. This is due to fact that they grow fast and may overshadow corals underneath it.</p>

<p>Since Green Branching Turbinaria is a marine species, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity</span>.</p>
