Galxea Coral, also known as Galaxea fascicularis, is a stunning stony coral celebrated for its unique, star-shaped polyps and vibrant colors. These corals exhibit a range of hues, from bright greens and yellows to striking blues and purples. With their impressive skeletal structure and captivating movement, they can be a focal point in any reef aquarium.
Galxea Coral thrives under moderate lighting conditions, as they benefit from the energy provided by symbiotic zooxanthellae. Water flow should be maintained at a medium level to ensure proper nutrient distribution and to keep the coral healthy. While they can adapt to various water parameters, stable and quality water conditions are crucial for their growth.
This coral is known for its aggressive temperament, especially when it comes to competition for space. They possess stinging tentacles that can harm neighboring corals, so it's important to provide ample space between Galxea Coral and other tank inhabitants. Ideal placement is in the lower to medium levels of the aquarium, where they can receive sufficient light and water flow while minimizing contact with more delicate species.
