Red mushroom coral breeding methods:

1, choose the container

Before breeding coral, you need to prepare a transparent tank, conducive to the later observation of the coral's growth and water quality, and then placed in the tank some sand and gravel, aquatic plants, etc., to create a suitable environment for the coral to grow, but also can be in the water Breed a few small fish in the water.

2, water temperature control

The growth of coral for the water temperature requirements are higher, because it is living in tropical waters, like a warm environment, breeding is recommended to control the temperature between 22-25 degrees, do not put the tank outdoors in the winter cold, summer to avoid a long time in the confined space.

3, clean water

Culture coral in the process, in order to maintain the water quality is always in a clean state, the need for regular water changes, general interval of 7 days to change the water once, each time you can not pour all the water, replace the total amount of water 1/5 can be, so as to avoid corals continue to adapt to the environment and the emergence of the growth of the uncomfortable situation.

Can get most of its nutrients from ****-grown algae.

It would be better to feed some nutritious particulate food, like small plankton or shrimp, directly to the coral polyps. Live rock often comes with this mushroom coral, which needs to be left for a few days to acclimatize before it fully opens up.
