Strawberry Rhodactis: A Jewel for Your Reef Aquarium

Discover the vibrant beauty of the Strawberry Rhodactis, a captivating corallimorph that brings rich color and unique texture to any marine setup.

Overview

The Strawberry Rhodactis (*Rhodactis osculifera*) is a stunning corallimorph, prized for its vibrant coloration and intriguing texture. Resembling a fleshy disc adorned with numerous small, hair-like tentacles, it sways gently with water flow, adding dynamic movement to your aquarium. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this species thrives in a stable reef environment, bringing a touch of the tropics to your home. Its fascinating appearance and hardy nature make it a popular choice for aquarists seeking both beauty and resilience.

Care Level

This Rhodactis mushroom is considered easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced reef keepers alike. While generally peaceful, it can exhibit semi-aggressive behavior and requires adequate space from other corals to prevent overgrowth and potential chemical warfare.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 75-100 litres is recommended. Provide low to moderate lighting and gentle, indirect water flow. Stable water parameters are crucial: maintain a pH of 8.1–8.4, a temperature between 24–27°C, and a salinity of 1.023–1.025.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the Strawberry Rhodactis also benefits from occasional supplemental feeding with fine coral foods, microplankton, or zooplankton-style preparations.
