About This Product

Transform your reef aquarium into a colorful underwater paradise with the Big Boy Pack – 24 Assorted LPS and Softie Frags. This exciting coral assortment provides 24 individual coral frags, combining the vibrant colors, fascinating textures, and natural movement of large-polyp stony (LPS) corals and soft corals.

Perfect for expanding an established reef aquarium, filling out a new coral aquascape, or adding variety to an existing collection, this assorted frag pack offers a convenient way to introduce multiple coral types into your saltwater aquarium.

LPS corals are admired for their fleshy polyps, brilliant colors, and fascinating feeding responses. Many varieties feature distinctive skeletal structures and colorful tissue that can create dramatic focal points throughout the aquarium.

Recommended Aquarium Conditions

Since the assortment contains multiple coral types, individual care requirements may differ. The following parameters provide general starting guidelines for a stable mixed reef aquarium.

These values are general mixed-reef guidelines rather than guaranteed requirements for every coral in the assortment. Stability is especially important, and species-specific needs should guide final placement.

Lighting and Placement Recommendations

LPS Coral Placement

Many LPS corals prefer low-to-moderate or moderate lighting, although requirements vary considerably by species.

Begin newly introduced frags in an appropriate lower-light position and gradually adjust their placement based on observed tissue expansion, coloration, and the known requirements of each coral.

Some LPS corals possess long sweeper tentacles that can sting neighboring corals. Leave adequate space between specimens to accommodate their growth and nighttime extension.

Soft Coral Placement

Soft corals vary in their lighting and water-flow preferences.

Some varieties thrive under moderate lighting and gentle water movement, while others prefer stronger circulation.

Place soft corals with sufficient room for expansion and growth, particularly fast-growing or spreading varieties.

Mixed Reef Aquascaping

The assortment works best in an aquarium with multiple suitable placement areas.

Use separate rockwork zones or spaced frag mounts to accommodate different growth rates and aggressive behaviors. Avoid crowding all 24 frags together.

Feeding and Nutrition

Many LPS and soft corals obtain a substantial portion of their energy through photosynthetic symbiotic algae.

Some LPS corals also benefit from occasional supplemental feeding using appropriate marine coral foods.

Depending on the coral species, suitable foods may include:

• Finely chopped marine meaty foods
• Appropriate coral pellets
• Mysis shrimp for larger-polyped species
• Specialized powdered coral foods
• Suitable plankton-based preparations

Not every coral requires direct feeding. Offer food only when appropriate for the species, and avoid excessive feeding that may degrade aquarium water quality.

Acclimation and Introduction Instructions

1. Inspect the shipment: Check the outer packaging and shipping water upon arrival.
2. Confirm aquarium readiness: Verify that temperature, salinity, and major water parameters are stable.
3. Temperature acclimate: Gradually bring the sealed shipping containers toward the aquarium’s temperature.
4. Transfer carefully: Follow appropriate acclimation procedures based on the shipping conditions and coral species. Avoid unnecessarily prolonged exposure to shipping water after opening.
5. Inspect each frag: Look for pests, damaged tissue, unwanted algae, and other potential concerns.
6. Use an appropriate coral dip: When suitable for the particular coral, follow the dip manufacturer’s directions. Do not assume every coral can tolerate the same dip.
7. Quarantine when possible: A separate coral observation system can reduce the risk of introducing pests into an established reef.
8. Introduce carefully: Place each frag in a location appropriate for its individual lighting and flow requirements.
9. Allow adjustment time: Newly shipped corals may remain contracted or appear less colorful while recovering from transit.
10. Monitor closely: Observe polyp extension, tissue condition, coloration, and nearby coral interactions over the following days.

Never pour shipping water or coral-dip solution directly into the display aquarium.
