Water Mellon Pascamacora Coral

Water Mellon Pascamacora Coral - Care Requirements

Water Mellon Pascamacora Coral is a Favia-type brain large-polyp stony coral. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide measured placement, stable conditions, and room around the frag for its nighttime tentacles.

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: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it from a different lighting environment.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing a strong stream onto its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Set the frag securely and make placement changes gradually rather than repeatedly shifting its location.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral ample space from nearby corals. Nighttime sweeper or feeding tentacles can reach neighboring specimens, so avoid close placement and monitor its reach after lights dim.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but target feeding may be done when feeding tentacles are visible.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe tissue response during acclimation. Favor gradual changes to lighting, flow, and placement over sudden adjustments, and keep debris from collecting around the coral without using forceful direct flow.

Allow space, acclimate slowly, and monitor its nighttime tentacles.
