The Nano Soft Coral Pack is a combination of various soft corals that are well suited for a small reef aquarium. We have selected these corals not only for their size, but also for their hardiness and overall suitability for nano reef aquariums. By incorporating multiple Nano Soft Coral Packs you can create a diverse reef setting in a small aquarium environment.  \n\u003cp\u003e\nThe ideal setup for the Nano Soft Coral Pack is an aquarium of at least 8 gallons with plenty of live rock for added biological filtration. All of the corals within the Nano Soft Coral Pack will thrive under compact fluorescent or multiple standard fluorescent lights. The water movement provided by the main filtration is all that is needed for these corals, as they do not require high water flow. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nAll of the corals included are photosynthetic and do not require supplemental feeding. However, depending on the individual species, the corals may be fed zooplankton, brine and mysis shrimp. Be sure to monitor the nutrient levels within the small aquarium if you decide to supplement the diet of the corals.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nEach Nano Soft Coral Pack consists of a variety of corals. When ordering more than 1 pack, we will do our best to provide a variety of the corals shown above but can not always guarantee this when the diversity of corals are low for these packs.
