How to Candy Apple Micromussa Coral: (written by Dave Burr) The Candy Apple Micromussa Coral is easy to keep and grows well in most reef aquariums. They are a great choice for adding a splash of color to lower flow, lower light areas of your reef aquarium. Each polyp is approximately 1/4" across. Baby polyps will grow around the base of established polyps. Micromussa are great beginner corals with similar care requirements to Acan Lord corals. Placement: Mount the Candy Apple Micromussa using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the lower two- thirds of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents and low to moderate lighting. Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply some of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, mysis shrimp, or finely chopped meaty foods.
