GREEN HIRSUTA
Hirsuta Frag Care Guide
• Lighting: Moderate to high (PAR 200–350).
• Flow: Moderate to strong, random flow to keep it clean and healthy.
• Placement: Mid to upper tank levels for best growth and color.
Water Parameters
• Temp: 75–80°F
• Salinity: 1.025–1.026
• Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
• Nitrates: 1–5 ppm
• Phosphates: 0.01–0.03 ppm
Feeding
• Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding (e.g., Reef-Roids, phytoplankton).
Maintenance
• Dip frags before adding. Maintain stable water and good flow to prevent algae buildup.
Pests
• Check for Montipora-eating nudibranchs and other pests.
Quick Tip
Hirsuta is a fast-growing SPS coral that thrives in stable, high-flow, and high-light environments!
