Overview

Neospongodes corals, often called Bush Corals, are known for their attractive branching structures and vibrant coloration, ranging from deep reds and yellows to purples. They possess visible sclerites that give their tissue a unique texture. Unlike some similar soft corals, Neospongodes species contain zooxanthellae, allowing them to derive energy from light, though supplemental feeding is crucial for optimal health and growth. They typically attach to reef slopes and prefer moderate to strong water flow.

Care Level

While generally considered hardy and adaptable, Neospongodes corals are often described as having a medium to difficult care level. They require specific attention to water flow and supplemental feeding. They are generally peaceful but can release toxins, so adequate space and filtration are essential.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 50 gallons (approx. 190 L) is recommended. Neospongodes thrive in stable water parameters with a temperature range of 23-26°C (73-79°F) and a pH of 8.1-8.4. They prefer moderate to high lighting and moderate to strong water flow.

Diet

Neospongodes corals are polytrophic, meaning they utilize both photosynthesis from their symbiotic zooxanthellae and heterotrophic feeding. Supplement their diet with planktonic foods and micro-plankton for best results.
