What water parameters are recommended for long-term coral stability?

Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and nutrient levels with minimal daily swings. Test consistently, avoid abrupt corrections, and match placement and flow to coral type (SPS, LPS, or soft coral) for best color and growth.

What placement and flow are best for SPS corals like this one?

SPS corals generally perform best in stable systems with stronger, turbulent flow and higher light zones. Start with conservative placement, verify polyp response, and adjust gradually to avoid stress from sudden parameter or light swings.

A Word of the Coral
Berry Ice is vivid, crisp, and candy-sweet — a coral dipped in a sugar glaze of color. Its branches glow in deep berry red, layered with clusters of icy blue corallites that shine like frost-kissed fruit. The polyps are tightly packed with a soft fluorescent fuzz, creating a vibrant surface that shimmers in motion. This piece feels playful and refreshing, like a frozen treat in a summer reef — bright, bold, and bursting with flavor.
