Western Australia Micromussa

Transform Your Tank with a True Western Australia Micro

Looking for the kind of Micromussa collectors hunt down? Western Australia colonies are known for high contrast color, with bold centers against brighter skirts and several shades on a single piece. That color really shows under blue reef lighting in a saltwater aquarium. These don't stay in stock long at The Coral Boutique, so grab this one while it's here.

Each polyp is short, fleshy and packed tight against its neighbors, so the frag looks solid and full from the start. It grows by encrusting outward and adding new heads along the edges, slowly filling in its spot on the rock. It does best low in the reef tank or on the sand bed, with gentle to moderate flow and PAR of about 50 to 150. Keep other corals a few inches away, since its sweeper tentacles reach out after lights out.
