More Details

General info about Blue Sea Fan

The Blue Sea Fan has thick a branch with huge and long polyps. This are the water parameters for cultivatring a Blue Sea Fan:

  • Strontium: 8 - 12
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025

 

Blue Sea Fan Diet & Nutrition

Blue Sea Fans are not photosynthetic. Therefore, they require supplemental feeding such as live micro-plankton, baby brine shrimp and other foods for filter feeders. They further require the addition of nutrients such as calcium, strontium, Iodine and other trace elements.

Fragging / Propagating Blue Sea Fan

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Blue Sea Fan. Fish are recommended as fish excretes nitrogen that can sustain the coral's growth.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Blue Sea Fan

Since they are not photosynthetic, Blue Sea Fan only requires a low level of lighting. However, it needs a strong water flow since it is their ideal environment.

Caution Should be Taken with Blue Sea Fan

While they are relatively peaceful, it is still recommended that you observe proper spacing with neighboring corals and anemones. Initially, you will need an underwater epoxy to anchor the Blueberry Sea Fan to a live rock.

How to Acclimate Blue Sea Fan

Blue Sea Fan are purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
