Care Requirements: Caring for Corky Sea Fingers requires attention to water quality, lighting, and feeding:
Water Parameters: Maintain stable water parameters within the following ranges:
Lighting: Provide moderate to high lighting levels, mimicking natural reef conditions. LED lighting systems designed for reef aquariums are suitable for promoting healthy growth and vibrant colors.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to prevent detritus buildup and ensure proper nutrient distribution to the coral. Position the coral where it receives gentle to moderate water movement.
Feeding: Corky Sea Fingers derive nutrition from photosynthesis through their symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae). Additionally, they can capture planktonic organisms from the water column. While they can survive solely on light and plankton, supplemental feeding with phytoplankton and zooplankton can enhance growth and coloration.
Placement: Place Corky Sea Fingers in the middle to upper regions of the aquarium, allowing them space to expand and grow. Avoid placing them too close to aggressive corals that may damage their delicate tissue.
Maintenance: Regularly monitor water parameters and perform routine maintenance tasks such as water changes, equipment cleaning, and algae removal to ensure optimal conditions for the coral's health and growth.
By following these care requirements, you can enjoy the beauty and elegance of Corky Sea Fingers while promoting their health and vitality in your marine aquarium.
