Care Requirements

Lighting

• Low to Moderate Light: Rhodactis Mushroom Corals thrive in low to moderate lighting conditions, making them ideal for tanks with LED, T5, or compact fluorescent lighting.
• Positioning Tip: Avoid placing them in direct, intense light, as it may cause bleaching or stress.

Water Flow

• Low to Moderate Flow: These corals prefer gentle water flow to avoid damage to their delicate tissue while ensuring proper nutrient absorption.

Water Parameters

• Temperature: 72-78F (22-26C)
• Salinity: 1.024-1.026 specific gravity
• pH: 8.1-8.4
• Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH
• Nitrate Levels: <10 ppm

Feeding

• Photosynthetic and Carnivorous: While Rhodactis primarily rely on zooxanthellae algae for energy, they benefit from occasional feedings of meaty foods like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or coral-specific foods.
• Feeding Schedule: Once or twice a week is sufficient to promote growth and vibrant coloration.

Placement and Compatibility

• Placement: Rhodactis corals adapt well to most areas of the tank. Place them on rock structures or in shaded areas where water flow is gentle.
• Compatibility: These corals are generally peaceful and cohabit well with other soft and LPS corals. Avoid placing them near aggressive or stinging corals to prevent damage.

Care Tips

1. Acclimation: Always acclimate your coral slowly to your tanks conditions to minimize stress.
2. Monitoring Growth: Over time, Rhodactis mushrooms may spread across rocks, forming lush colonies. Keep an eye on their spread to ensure they dont overtake other corals.
3. Pest Control: Inspect regularly for pests or algae growth, which can compete with or harm your coral.
