JF Captain Jerk Palythoa Coral

The JF Captain Jerk Palythoa Coral is a vibrant addition to any reef aquarium, offered at a price per frag with 2-3 polyps. It's important to note that there may be a wait time associated with this coral; hence, we recommend selecting a shipping date a week in advance to accommodate this. For optimal placement, utilize IC gel glue, putty, or a combination of both to affix your new coral on a rock or ledge where it receives direct lighting and ample flow.

Feeding your soft coral is essential for its health and growth. Top Shelf Aquatics suggests a diet rich in Zooplanktons, Phytoplanktons, Amino Acids, and other Organic Proteins. A daily broadcast feeding regimen, paused during return and circulation pumps activity, ensures the corals can efficiently consume the nutrients they need. For lighting, a spectrum of 18-20K is recommended for the best coloration, alongside moderate water flow to mimic its natural habitat conditions.

Known for being easy to care for, the JF Captain Jerk Palythoa Coral thrives under moderate lighting (PAR 250) and flow conditions, making it suitable for a range of aquarists, from beginners to experts. Originating from the Indo-Pacific but aqua-cultured in Florida by TSA, it prefers water conditions within the range of 75-80° F; sg 1.025-1.026; pH 8.1-8.4; Ca 420-440 ppm; Alk 8-9.5 dKH; Mg 1300-1450; Nitrates <10ppm; and Phosphates < .10ppm.
