Pavona Green Cactus Coral Frag

Pavona corals are hardy SPS corals that come in a range of shapes, from plating and branching forms to their distinctive cactus-like growth. They're a great option for reef keepers looking to try SPS corals without jumping straight into the more demanding species.

LIGHTING

Moderate to high lighting is ideal. Pavona generally adapts well to a range of light levels and often develops its best colour under stable lighting.

FLOW

Moderate to strong water flow helps keep the coral clean and supports healthy growth.

FEEDING

Pavona gets most of its energy from light, but occasional feeding of fine coral foods can help promote growth.

PLACEMENT

Can be placed in the middle to upper areas of the rockwork depending on lighting and flow. Be sure to leave room for it to grow and spread.

WATER QUALITY

Stable water parameters are important. Consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature will help keep your Pavona healthy.

TANK MATES

While generally peaceful, Pavona can be surprisingly aggressive toward nearby corals, so leave a little extra space around it.

Overall, Pavona is a tough, fast-growing coral that offers interesting textures and shapes, making it a great addition to both newer and experienced reef aquariums.
