acanthophyllia mastergrade WYSIWYG / 1495

Description

acanthophyllia mastergrade – large-polyp Acanthophyllia with broad fleshy tissue.

You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 1495. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.

Size stated in the offer: 11x11 cm.

Light and flow

Light: low to moderate; initially avoid intense hotspots. Flow: gentle and broadly distributed.

Placement in your reef

On clean sand with open space around the fully expanded coral.

Feeding and ongoing care

Occasionally offer small suitable marine food pieces, avoiding oversized portions.

Avoid sharp rocks, sand deposits on the mouth and animals that nip the tissue. Mastergrade is a trade label, not a distinct care requirement.

Keep water conditions stable

As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
