Special Requirements and Information:
Often called
"Lettuce Coral" or "Leaf Coral", the cactus has
polyps on both sides of the coral plates. They
are reasonably hardy, but require good water
conditions and occasional supplemental addition
of calcium, strontium and iron.. Regular
feeding of zooplankton is necessary for the polyps. Begin away from your light source
until they've acclimated and then move them to
where they can gather the most light available.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're
accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced
to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms,
artemia or squid. Supplement with strontium, calcium and
magnesium.
Can be aggressive towards their neighbors, so
give them sufficient room. Plates grow slowly.
