Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

One of the hobby's most popular corals is the encrusting Montiporas. If you are looking to start keeping SPS (Small Polyp Stony) corals, the Blue Encrustings are a good place to start, because they are very hardy and will do well in a wide variety of conditions. These color variants will look good in their tank regardless of your experience level. Also, since they do not have sweeper tentacles, they can be housed closer to other corals. They will display the best coloration and grow most quickly under moderate to bright light and high water flow, but be careful, as they will grow over and cover just about anything you put in their path. Feeding any stony coral some sort of planktonic food weekly will also enhance color and their polyp extension.

- Provide an aquarium placement with moderate lighting and higher water flow
- Provide supplemental additions of calcium and other trace elements
- For continued health, supplement with planktonic foods
- Cannot tolerate copper medications
- Prefers well-established aquariums
- Reef safe

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
