Overview
Create a spectacular reef aquarium landscape full of interesting textures and color with greater ease and savings. Great for both novice and advanced reef aquarists, the Premium Maricultured Toadstool Coral 3 Pack includes three beautiful Sarcophyton Toadstool Corals at one great package price! This convenient and budget-friendly package deal is a fantastic option for filling empty reef aquarium landscapes with lively movement and architectural shape.
The maricultured Toadstool Corals in this pack are propagated from small cuttings of Toadstool Corals growing in their natural habitat. The cuttings or fragments are mounted to a base and are then allowed to grow out in protected inshore areas for several months. Once they are ready for sale, the maricultured corals are shipped to the United States, where they are then conditioned and adjusted to artificial lighting and synthetic seawater prior to shipping to your door.
The corals included in the Premium Maricultured Toadstool Coral 3 Pack can thrive under moderate to high lighting conditions achieved by T-5 fluorescent, powerful LEDs, or the more intense metal halide light fixtures. While not as demanding as small polyp stony (SPS) corals, it is still imperative to maintain high water quality ensuring proper pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels, while keeping phosphate and nitrate levels as close to zero as possible. Along with proper lighting and water quality, the premium maricultured Toadstool Corals will benefit from medium, intermittent water flow within the aquarium. This can be easily achieved with the addition of powerheads, wavemakers, or water circulation pumps.
The maricultured Toadstool Corals in this pack are hardy, fast-growing corals that have a peaceful temperament, but some Sarcophyton Toadstool Corals can produce toxins which are harmful to other reef inhabitants. Be sure to provide adequate space between other corals in the reef aquarium as Sarcophyton Toadstool Corals have a tendency to expand once they settle into their new home.
The photosynthetic symbiotic zooxanthellae algae hosted within the premium maricultured Toadstool Corals help satisfy the majority of the corals nutritional requirements. However, the premium maricultured Toadstool Corals will benefit from supplemental weekly feedings of micro-plankton and other foods designed for filter-feeding invertebrates especially when housed in reef aquariums that do not contain fishes. For continued good health, the premium maricultured Toadstool Corals will also require the addition of iodine, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
The premium maricultured Toadstool Corals in this pack are mounted to a natural "rock-like" plug that can be placed easily and securely in or between rockwork in the reef aquarium.
