Platygyra Coral Care Tips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- In this coral spotlight we will be taking a look at Platygyra, a coral commonly referred to as a brain worm coral. I use the name Platygyra very loosely to describe any number of similar brain corals. When it comes to classification, there are a number of very similar looking corals that are a challenge to differentiate from one another. Not only do they look similar, on occasion they grow differently in captivity making them resemble another coral entirely. The corals I am showing in this video may be Platygyra, or Paragoniastrea, or Leptoria, or even Favites.

Than's Voice is the true Reef therapy
Whenever I am having trouble sleeping, I turn on Tidal Garden videos and Than's calming voice helps me sleep immediately
Same here for my wife , she loves it!
Excellent.
I grew one of these quite large many years ago and must have made EVERY possible mistake but it powered through somehow.
Wow, perfect timing! I acclimated a TG Platycakes Platygyra to my tank recently, beautiful coral!
Perfect!
Just think for a moment of all the corals that have been saved over time by Than's coral care videos...
As always great video Than. Looking forward to adding more of these gems to my tank!
Thank you for doing a spotlight on platygyra, there is not much in depth information specific to them out there. I got a frag of platycakes from tidal gardens a while back, but within a few days all the flesh was gone. I placed it in low light, low flow. I would like to try another platycakes again some day but i still cant seem to keep any maze brain type corals happy for extended periods in my tank (dragon soul, several types of favias)
When the problem is across a number of corals like that I always worry that there is something actively eating them. It could be anything, even fish.
@@tidalgardenswhoa i never even thought of that as a possible reason. I do have a handful of reefsafe with caution fish in the tank. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Than! Excelent information, thanks for sharing. Y have three of these maze corals. They are amazing.
Yes they are!
Great spotlight on a type of coral you see a lot in stores but not so much in people's tanks. Hopefully this will help with that.
I hope so too!
I love brain corals. But platygyra top the list. Especially the platycakes. So glad I snagged one! 💚
@@Bommie. I bought one last summer. They had it on the reef2reef live sale. I bought that thing soooo fast. 🤣
Thanks
I have a Platygyra that hasn't grown at all in two years.. Long *** sweeper tentacles too..
It's Jeremy. Thanks for the content Than 👍
Any chance of a video on coral that both Florence under actinic while also looking stunning under daylight?
I'm more than 2hrs away from the nearest LFS so I don't get my eyes on the amount of coral you get to 😢.
Thanks.
Any updates of those orphek amazonas lights? thinking of getting four of them for my 48” deep tank
Hey man love the vids been watching for about 4 years now. I have some questions about par and lighting for certain corals. I’m running a AI prime on my fluval 13.5 And my little issue is the growth is absurdly fast for all corals, including Acropora and the colors are unbelievably stunning but certain corals more specific alveopora grow like crazy but aren’t super colorful like when I got them. Nutrients are 7 nitrates, .1 phosphates. And I’m set up on a doser dosing all for reef and the tank has basically a 95% stability curve for elements I regularly test for. I’m not sure if it’s the location for that coral but it’s not as bright and pink and blue as it used to be. It’s relatively subtle and bland compared to when I got it 2 years ago. Anything that might affect this?
