Nephthyigorgia sp. – Chilean Red Coral
A Spectacular and Heterotrophic Red Coral
The Nephthyigorgia sp., also known as the Chilean red coral, is highly prized for its bright red color and unique branching form. Unlike symbiotic corals, this coral is 100% heterotrophic, meaning it feeds exclusively through predation and does not rely on light for its growth.
Frequent Feeding is Essential
The Nephthyigorgia sp. must be fed regularly with phytoplankton, zooplankton, or products like Marine Snow to ensure its survival and prosperity. It is essential to provide it with a constant supply of suspended particles to maintain its optimal health.
Lighting and Water Flow Conditions
This coral prefers very low lighting since it does not depend on photosynthesis for its growth. An indirect strong water flow is necessary to simulate ocean currents and promote the extension of polyps while allowing the coral to feed efficiently.
Water Parameters
The Nephthyigorgia sp. thrives in clean, stable, and well-oxygenated water:
- Temperature: 24–26°C
- Salinity: 35 ppt (1.025)
- pH: 8.0–8.4
- KH: 7–9 dKH
- Calcium: 400–450 ppm
- Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
A Fascinating Coral for Experienced Aquarists
The Nephthyigorgia sp. is a captivating coral that requires more rigorous maintenance. It is suitable for experienced aquarists who are ready to provide it with targeted feeding and adequate water flow. With its red brilliance and delicate polyps, it makes a spectacular and dynamic addition to any reef.
Add a Unique and Dynamic Red Coral to Your Reef
The Nephthyigorgia sp. is a unique coral that will bring movement and color to your reef while requiring special attention for its feeding and water flow conditions.
