Good circulation helps keep detritus from settling into the coral’s ridges and supports healthy tissue growth. Place the coral on stable mid-level rockwork with adequate room for outward encrusting or plating growth. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, nitrate, and phosphate. Pachyseris is primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from naturally available plankton and fine particulate coral foods. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or water chemistry, as this coral responds best to consistent reef conditions and gradual acclimation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895342858473,"sku":"U25 S1738","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/green-elephant-skin-pachyseris-lps-under-25-pea-F-S1738.jpg?v=1789693610","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/green-elephant-skin-pachyseris-under-25-pea-f-s1738","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
