Green Nephtheidea, also known as Green Nephthea or Green Tree Coral, is a beautiful and hardy soft coral that can add a vibrant touch to your reef aquarium. Here are some key points about Green Nephtheidea coral care:

  • Placement: They can be placed in various locations within the tank, but they prefer a moderately lit section of rock with plenty of space above to allow for upward growth.
  • Lighting: Medium lighting is ideal, typically between 50-150 PAR. They tend to extend better in moderate light compared to intense light.
  • Water Flow: Strong water movement is recommended. They periodically retract their polyps and form a waxy film, which is a healthy process to prevent nuisance algae growth.
  • Feeding: They rely heavily on the products of their zooxanthellae but can also feed on phytoplankton and similarly sized microfauna in the water column.
  • Propagation: Green Nephtheidea corals are excellent candidates for aquaculture and can be propagated extensively in captivity.

These corals are relatively easy to care for and can thrive in a well-maintained reef tank. They are a great choice for both beginners and experienced reef keepers.
