{"product_id":"green-cyphastrea-1","title":"Green Cyphastrea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Green Cyphastrea coral features a vibrant green coloration with a unique bumpy texture that adds visual interest to any reef aquarium. Its encrusting growth habit can spread across rockwork, creating a beautiful carpet of green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral thrives in moderate to high PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) lighting, around 150-250 PAR. Moderate water flow is ideal, providing enough movement to keep detritus from settling without being overly strong. Place it on the mid to lower sections of your rockwork where it can encrust. While it can capture some nutrients from the water column, supplemental feeding with fine coral foods can encourage faster growth and more vibrant coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain stable water parameters for optimal health: Salinity 1.025-1.026, Alkalinity 8-9 dKH, Calcium 400-450 ppm, Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm, and Nitrates 5-10 ppm with Phosphates near undetectable levels. Cyphastrea corals are generally peaceful but should be given adequate space to grow without encroaching on more aggressive corals. Acclimation should be slow and steady, typically involving drip acclimation over an hour or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Green Cyphastrea is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced reef keepers. Its hardiness and relatively fast growth rate make it a rewarding coral to cultivate.
