Soft Corals 

Soft Coral Care Sheet Introduction: Soft corals, known for their flexible, fleshy structures, add graceful movement and vibrant colors to a reef aquarium. Proper care is essential to ensure the health and thriving of these unique corals. Tank Requirements: 1. Tank Size: Provide a tank with a minimum of 30 gallons for a variety of soft corals. Larger tanks offer more space for diverse species. 2. Water Parameters: - Temperature: 74-80°F (23-27°C) - Salinity: 1.024-1.026 - pH: 8.1-8.4 - Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH - Calcium: 400-450 ppm - Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm - Phosphates: <0.03 ppm - Nitrate: <5 ppm 3. Lighting: - Provide low to moderate lighting. LED systems with adjustable intensity and a spectrum including blue, white, and violet are suitable. Placement: 1. Water Flow: Gentle water flow is recommended to prevent damage to the delicate structures of soft corals. 2. Placement: Position soft corals in the mid to lower levels of the tank. Allow ample space between different colonies to prevent overcrowding. Feeding: 1. Photosynthesis: Soft corals can derive nutrients from photosynthesis. Moderate lighting is sufficient to support this process. 2. Supplementary Feeding: While not mandatory, supplement the diet with planktonic foods, such as liquid coral foods or phytoplankton, once or twice a week. Maintenance: 1. Water Changes: Perform regular water changes (10-20% monthly) to maintain stable water parameters and remove accumulated waste. 2. Coral Dips: Quarantine new corals and perform coral dips to prevent introducing pests or diseases. 3. Coral Husbandry: Trim or frag corals if needed, and ensure proper spacing to prevent overgrowth or aggressive interactions. Common Issues: 1. Overexposure to Light: Soft corals can be sensitive to intense light. Adjust lighting to prevent stress and bleaching. 2. Inadequate Flow: Ensure sufficient water movement to prevent detritus buildup and maintain overall coral health. Compatibility: Soft corals are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of tankmates. Provide space between colonies to prevent territorial disputes. Final Tips: 1. Regularly monitor water parameters using reliable test kits. 2. Pay attention to the health and coloration of your soft corals, adjusting care as needed. 3. Create a stable environment with consistent water conditions for the optimal well-being of your soft corals. By following these guidelines, your soft corals can flourish, adding beauty and elegance to your reef aquarium.
