Mardi Gras-Galaxea fascicularis

• LIGHT: MODERATE (100-200 par) is what we find best. Galaxea coral are highly adaptable to reef tanks but it is important to keep in mind that it is far easier to damage coral with too much lighting so in our opinion when it comes to lighting, less is often more for LPS corals. 

• FOOD: We don't feel that Galaxea corals require any special feeding regimen although they are sure to benefit from occasional spot feeding. They will catch and consume most food particles in the water column. Like most corals they capture nutrients from the water and will do best when supplied a healthy amount of food. Our method is high import, high export. 

• FLOW: MODERATE. Galaxea Corals benefit from moderate water movement which will allow it's polyps to inflate and sway gently in the aquarium. Too much flow, especially direct flow, can cause damage to the corals tissue or an inability to capture food. 

• DIFFICULTY: BEGINNER. Galaxea corals have done well long term in captivity and their are multiple color varieties available via aquaculture. This does not mean all wild colonies will be able to adapt to captivity. Like with all corals, specimens have been seen to do well in captivity when the right combination of Food/Light/Flow and Filtration are achieved.
