Our quarantine procedures
Our quarantine procedures
We take livestock seriously. That's why we don't sell anything we wouldn't be comfortable putting in our own tank.
As we are direct from source, we import and sell direct to the public. This means you can buy with confidence knowing EMA prides itself on excellent handling and conditioning protocols.
All our fish held in a quarantine system for a minimum of 3 weeks. During this time, regular water changes are performed, and twice daily (or sometimes more) feedings are performed.
Copper is dosed and checked twice a day for ich and velvet.
During this treatment fish are given formalin baths for brooklynella and a minimum of 3 praziquantel doses is performed for flukes.
Description
Description
This Open Brain Coral brings broad, fleshy folds and a sculptural shape to the sand bed. Its tissue can expand well beyond the hard base, so a clear, gentle-flow position is more useful than a tight gap in the rockwork.
Placement and care
- Lighting: Low to moderate reef lighting; begin conservatively after introduction.
- Flow: Gentle, indirect water movement.
- Placement: A clean sand-bed position with room for the tissue to inflate. Keep sharp rock edges and neighbouring stinging corals away.
Keep salinity and temperature stable and monitor alkalinity, calcium and magnesium as the coral grows.
Feeding and maintenance
Offer small meaty marine foods when the coral is receptive. Prevent fish or shrimp from repeatedly stealing food, and avoid large meals that remain uneaten.
What you will receive
Approximate listed size: 13 cm.
WYSIWYG: you will receive the exact coral shown in the product photograph.
Colour varies with aquarium lighting and screen settings. Size is a guide, and polyp expansion changes through the day.
