Alien Maze Brain Coral
$ 29.99 $ 39.99
How to Care for Alien Maze Brain Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
Alien Maze Brain is easy to keep and grows well in most reef aquariums. They glow beautifully under actinic lighting. They do have sweeper tentacles that can extend 2"-4" at night and sting nearby corals.
Placement: Mount the Alien Maze Brain using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the lower two- thirds of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents and low to moderate lighting. Leave 2-3" around this coral as it has tentacles that can sting nearby corals at night.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply some of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, or mysis shrimp when its tentacles are open.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: Alien Maze Brain Coral requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 120-250). T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Maze Brain Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
Care Level: Easy
Lighting Requirements: Low to moderate (PAR 120-250)
Water Flow: Moderate
Aggressiveness: Semi-aggressive
Range: Indo Pacific, Fiji
Family: Faviidae
Water Conditions: 75-80° F; sg 1.024-1.026 (1.025 is ideal); pH 8.1-8.4 Ca 420-440 ppm, Alk 8-9.5 dKH, Mg 1260-1350, Nitrates <10ppm, Phosphates, < .10ppm
Water Chemistry: It is important that proper calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity (8-9.5 dkh - run it 7-8 if you are carbon dosing) , and magnesium levels (1260-1350 ppm) are maintained. Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.
Dosing: Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.

How to Care for Clove Polyp Coral Frag Pack:
(written by Dave Burr)
Clove Polyps are easy to keep and are a great choice for the beginner. Their long stems cause them to wave beautifully in the currents. They will grow and reproduce by budding, and will spread over the rocks.
Placement: Mount Clove Polyps using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock lower in the aquarium where they will receive direct flow and light. If you do not want them growing on your your main rock structure, try creating an island by mounting them to one larger rock and placing it as an island in your sand bed.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis, they do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, Roti-Feast, cyclopeeze, & sometimes small bits of mini mysis. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.

How to Care for Green & White Pipe Organ Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
Although Green & White Pipe Organ Coral does have a red skeleton it is actually classified as a soft coral. It is often confused with Star Polyps. Unlike Star Polyps, it will not encrust the rocks and crowd out other coral species. It is a good coral to use to fill in gaps between other peaceful corals as it will not sting.
Placement: Mount the Green & White Pipe Organ using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the middle third of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents and moderate to high lighting. Leave a few inches around them and consider that they will often begin to shade corals around them as they grow larger.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do require supplemental feedings of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and marine snow.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Green & White Pipe Organ Leather requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 200-300). T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Pipe Organ Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.
Dosing: Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.

How to Care for Green Duncan Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
Green Duncan Corals are easy to keep and grow well in most reef aquariums. They are a great choice for adding a splash of color to lower flow, lower light areas of your reef aquarium.
Placement: Mount the Duncan Coral using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the lower two- thirds of the aquarium where they will receive low to moderate currents and low to moderate lighting.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do benefit from supplemental feedings of mysis shrimp, or finely chopped meaty foods.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Green Duncan Coral requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 120-250). T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Leather Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.
Dosing: Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.

How to Care for the Mango Mycedium Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
The Mango Mycedium Coral will bring a good contrast to any reef aquarium as it encrusts over the rock.
Tentacles: Mango Mycedium Corals have sweeper tentacles that come out at night so leave several inches between them and surrounding corals. Mycedium corals are close relatives of Chalice and Echinophyllia corals but should not be placed directly next to them as they can sting each other.
Placement: Mount the Mango Mycedium using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock in the lower half of the aquarium where it will receive moderate flow and indirect light.
Feeding: Vivid Aquariums recommends feeding Mycedium, Echinophyllia and Chalice Corals with Oyster-Feast, Roti-Feast, and/or cyclopeeze. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Mango Mycedium requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 80-200) to maintain its color. T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Echinophyllia & Chalice Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

Minty Green Pipe Organ Coral
$ 49.99
How to Care for Minty Green Pipe Organ Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
Although Minty Green Pipe Organ Coral does have a red skeleton it is actually classified as a soft coral. It is often confused with Star Polyps. Unlike Star Polyps, it will not encrust the rocks and crowd out other coral species. It is a good coral to use to fill in gaps between other peaceful corals as it will not sting.
Placement: Mount the Minty Green Pipe Organ using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the middle third of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents and moderate to high lighting. Leave a few inches around them and consider that they will often begin to shade corals around them as they grow larger.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do require supplemental feedings of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and marine snow.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Minty Green Pipe Organ Leather requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 200-300). T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Pipe Organ Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

Water Chemistry: Providing additions of iodine will help the Minty Green Pipe Organ grow. Most good salt mixes will provide enough iodine through water changes. It is important that proper calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity (8-9.5 dkh - run it 7-8 if you are carbon dosing) , and magnesium levels (1260-1350 ppm) are maintained. Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg.

Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.
Dosing: Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.

How to Care for Vivid Diploastrea Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
The Vivid Diploastrea coral is easy to keep and grows well in most reef aquariums. They are a great choice for adding a splash of color to lower flow, lower light areas of your reef aquarium.
Placement: Mount the Vivid Diploastrea coral using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the lower two- thirds of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents and low to moderate lighting. Leave 1-2" around this coral as it has tentacles that can sting nearby corals at night.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within the Vivid Diploastrea coral supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis, Diploastrea Corals do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, mysis shrimp, or finely chopped meaty foods.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Vivid Diploastrea Coral requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 120-250). T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Favia Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.
Dosing: Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.

How to Care for Vivid's Kingslayer Favia Coral:
(written by Dave Burr)
Vivid's Kingslayer Favia Coral provides a unique mix of red & gold to your reef aquascape.
Placement: Mount the Vivid's Kingslayer Favia Coral using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the lower two- thirds of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents and low to moderate lighting. Leave 1-2" around this coral as it has tentacles that can sting nearby corals at night.
Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, mysis shrimp, or finely chopped meaty foods.
Lighting & Flow Requirements: Vivid's Kingslayer Favia Coral requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 120-250). T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Favia Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
Care Level: Easy
Lighting Requirements: Low to moderate (PAR 120-250)
Water Flow: Moderate
Aggressiveness: Semi-aggressive
Range: Australia, Indo Pacific
Family: Faviidae
Water Conditions: 75-80° F; sg 1.024-1.026 (1.025 is ideal); pH 8.1-8.4 Ca 420-440 ppm, Alk 8-9.5 dKH, Mg 1260-1350, Nitrates <10ppm, Phosphates, < .10ppm The Twilight Favia coral is easy to keep and grows well in most reef aquariums. They are a great choice for adding a splash of color to lower flow, lower light areas of your reef aquarium.
Water Chemistry: It is important that proper calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity (8-9.5 dkh - run it 7-8 if you are carbon dosing) , and magnesium levels (1260-1350 ppm) are maintained. Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm.
