Galaxea sp - The Biota Captive Bred Encrusting Galaxea is a vibrant, fast growing coral that spreads across rockwork with glowing polyps and a rich, textured base. This aquacultured strain has been raised in controlled conditions from the start, making it an excellent choice for reef keepers who want long term success without the risks often associated with wild collected corals.
Galaxea is a type of large polyp stony coral that will benefit from stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and trace elements in the water. It prefers moderate water flow and light, and it does well in the lower sections of well-lit tanks. Use care when acclimating it to your lighting.
This hardy species is a good choice for beginners who have a stable environment and water parameters. This coral will quickly grow new branches.
