Offering small meaty foods, such as brine shrimp or mysis shrimp, can promote faster growth and enhanced coloration. They are aggressive eaters and will consume nearly any appropriately sized meat-based foods that fit on their oral disc. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1888\" data-start=\"1615\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1888\" data-start=\"1617\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1636\" data-start=\"1617\"\u003eAggressiveness:\u003c\/strong\u003e These corals are generally peaceful but can exhibit aggressive tendencies, especially during nighttime when their sweeper tentacles extend.

Ideal parameters include a temperature range of 73° - 84° F (23° - 29° C), salinity around 1.023 - 1.025 specific gravity, pH between 8.1 - 8.4, and alkalinity between 8 - 12 dKH. Adequate calcium levels (380 - 420 ppm) and magnesium levels (1200 - 1350 ppm) are also essential for their health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Inverts Bay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43082156769419,"sku":"4308215676","price":200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8578\/9835\/files\/lps-076.jpg?v=1739677080","url":"https:\/\/ca9ea5-6d.myshopify.com\/products\/lps-075","provider":"Inverts Bay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
