Description

Vibrant Phoenix Feather Rhodactis: A Jewel for Your Reef!

Discover the stunning allure of the Phoenix Feather Rhodactis, a captivating coral that brings a burst of fiery color and unique texture to any marine aquarium.

Overview

The Phoenix Feather Rhodactis, scientifically known as *Rhodactis inchoata*, is a visually striking corallimorph with a fleshy body adorned with small, hair-like tentacles that give it a fuzzy appearance. This particular variant often displays vibrant shades reminiscent of a phoenix’s plumage, making it a standout piece. They are generally peaceful but can be semi-aggressive, requiring adequate space from other corals to prevent conflict. These corals can also move within the tank if conditions aren’t to their liking.

Care Level

Rhodactis mushrooms are considered easy to care for, making them an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate reef keepers. They are relatively hardy but thrive best in stable conditions, showing sensitivity to sudden changes in water parameters or lighting.

Tank Essentials

Maintain stable water parameters for optimal health: a temperature range of 24-28°C (75-82°F), and a pH between 8.1-8.4. A minimum tank size of 75 litres (approx. 20 gallons) is recommended. They prefer low to moderate indirect water flow to prevent damage to their delicate tentacles.

Diet

As photosynthetic corals, Rhodactis mushrooms derive much of their nutrition from symbiotic algae. However, occasional feeding with small pieces of meaty foods, phytoplankton, or zooplankton can enhance growth and coloration.
