Nuclear Splatter Trachy

About this coral

Nuclear Splatter Trachy is an LPS “trachy” type coral sold as a colorful fleshy sandbed coral. In practical terms, it’s a centerpiece-style reef animal that helps add form and texture to the bottom or lower rockwork area of a saltwater aquarium, and it typically benefits from careful placement and consistent water quality so its fleshy polyps can extend and feed.

Features:

• LPS trachy group coral with a fleshy, sandbed-associated growth style
• Colorful, fleshy polyp display that can become a focal point in the aquarium
• Generally appreciates moderate lighting and steady, gentle-to-moderate water movement
• Often benefits from occasional targeted feeding of appropriately sized meaty foods
• Because LPS corals can still compete for space, provide room around the coral and avoid direct contact with more aggressive neighbors
• Best suited to aquariums that maintain stable reef parameters rather than rapidly changing conditions

Specifications:

• Coral type: LPS (trachy group; fleshy sandbed coral)
• Lighting: Moderate light (group-level guidance for LPS fleshy corals)
• Water flow: Gentle-to-moderate flow with less harsh, direct blasting
• Placement: Lower aquarium placement; often well-suited near sandbeds or stable bases
• Diet: Beneficial to feed small meaty foods occasionally (targeted feeding recommended)
• Temperature: Typical tropical reef range (about 24–27°C / 75–81°F)
• Salinity: Marine reef range (about 1.023–1.026 specific gravity)
• pH: Typical reef range (about 8.1–8.4)
• Alkalinity: Typical reef range (about 7–11 dKH)
• Calcium: Typical reef range (about 400–450 ppm)
• Magnesium: Typical reef range (about 1250–1350 ppm)
