Pumpkin Patch Psammocora Coral Frag

Pumpkin Patch Psammocora, Psammocora sp., is a hardy encrusting stony coral known for its compact growth, fine textured surface, and bright contrasting polyp coloration. This WYSIWYG frag features a green encrusting base with orange to pumpkin-colored polyp centers, creating a vivid speckled appearance under reef lighting. Psammocora corals are popular with reef hobbyists because they offer attractive color, manageable growth, and good durability in established reef aquariums. Care Guide: Psammocora sp. generally does best in moderate lighting and moderate indirect water flow. Provide enough flow to keep the encrusting surface clean and prevent detritus from settling, but avoid harsh direct blasting. Place this frag on stable rockwork where it has room to encrust outward. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature. This coral is photosynthetic and does not require target feeding, though it may benefit from fine particulate coral foods and stable nutrient availability in a mature reef system.
