Mint Pavona Coral - Care Requirements

Mint Pavona Coral is a large-polyp stony coral with a distinctive mint presentation. This WYSIWYG Mint Pavona Coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a mint-colored LPS coral for a lower or middle reef position. Its care is moderate, with attention to stable conditions, measured lighting, and indirect flow.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow that keeps water moving without blasting the tissue. Avoid direct aggressive flow across fleshy areas.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement and make changes gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so spacing helps reduce the chance of contact or stinging issues.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while consistent reef conditions remain the primary focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe tissue response, extension, and placement over time. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow, and keep direct aggressive water movement away from fleshy tissue. Moderate care is best supported by patient acclimation and routine observation.
