This is a Red PLATING Photosynthetic Sponge Soft Coral mounted to rock.
The first 3 pictures are the parents to my babies. The 4th pic is a sample baby. The branches act like runners looking for another hard surface to attach to & continue growing. BUT I've found that it will plate out just like the Purple/Blue version when it's surrounded by other corals! The first pic shows how beautiful it is plating!
As you can see, it's a stunner in both color & form & sure to please! You can see how it's a contrast color to the other corals in it's tank. It certainly catches eyes here! Below is one parent tank it's growing in here & as you can see, it stands out among the rest! Pictured here in it's runner/branching form.
Beautiful in any aquarium, it's super for Seahorse tanks too!
No feeding necessary with this beauty! The Red Branching Sponge Soft Coral is photosynthetic so will primarily get it's nutrition from your lights! Not light fussy either & can be placed almost anywhere in your tank that gets light.
Special Acclimation Notes: I recommend not allowing the Red Branching Sponge to touch air but if you have to bring it up, it should be fine if exposed for a tiny bit. Otherwise, acclimate by making a 2-3" cut in the bag under water & let it float for 1/2 hour then while under water, stretch the cut open to release under water.
