Saxby Gorgonian
Octocorallia (gorgonian; genus unconfirmed)
£65.00
Understated colour, distinctive structure. Thick beige-brown branches give this photosynthetic gorgonian a natural, textured presence.
The lighting, flow and placement advice here is specific to this coral. For broader care advice for its species or group, see the linked care guide.
- Care advice
- Moderate light after gradual acclimation and moderate to strong indirect flow across all branches. Keep algae and detritus off the surface without damaging tissue. Fine particulate foods may supplement photosynthesis. Secure the base, allow room for swaying branches and maintain stable salinity and measurable nutrients.
- Care advice
- Recommended parameters — Alkalinity 7.5–8.5 dKH · Calcium 400–450 ppm · Magnesium 1250–1400 ppm · Salinity 35 ppt · Temperature 24–26°C · Nitrate 2–15 ppm · Phosphate 0.04–0.10 ppm. Stability matters more than chasing a specific point within these ranges.
Every Signature Frags coral goes through an extensive in-house aquaculture process before sale. This includes strict quarantine, treatment throughout the process, and regrowth through multiple systems before entering final grow-out. This conditioning helps prepare our corals for life in your reef.
