District 9 Mycedium

<div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, corals coming from the genus Mycedium takes the flat, laminar plane or plate type of coral growth. Their colonies have several plates that may originate from different points or planes. One distinct characteristics for a Mycedium coral is that their corallites are raised, tubular and has angular outward growth that forms a shape resembling like a nose.</p> <p>As for the District 9 Mycedium, they are predominantly colored violet with green mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating District 9 Mycedium:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 380 - 430 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>74° - 82° F (23° - 27° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div>

<p>The District 9 Mycedium gets much of its nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. However, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp.</p>

<p>A mature tank is recommended in cultivating District 9 Mycedium. They are highly adaptive that it can grow and encrust any surface, including the glass component of your tank.</p>

<p>The District 9 Mycedium requires moderate lighting and low to moderate waterflow. If they are exposed to strong waterflow, their tentacles wiill not go out, which in turn, will deprive them from feeding.</p>

<p>The District 9 Mycedium are prone to brown jelly infection, especially if water conditions are not met and maintained.</p>

<p>The District 9 Mycedium can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

<p>The District 9 Mycedium has an aggressive behavior. Therefore, proper spacing must be maintained with regards to nearby corals.</p>

<p>The District 9 Mycedium are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>

<p>The tentacles of the District 9 Mycedium are classfied as sweeper tentacles where it can extend, invade and sting nearby corals.</p>
