General info about Yellow Eye Mycedium
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.
As for the Yellow Eye Mycedium, they are predominantly colored violet with yellow mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Yellow Eye Mycedium:
- Calcium: 380 - 430 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 74° - 82° F (23° - 27° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
Yellow Eye Mycedium Diet & Nutrition
The Yellow Eye 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.
Fragging / Propagating Yellow Eye Mycedium
A mature tank is recommended in cultivating Yellow Eye Mycedium. They are highly adaptive that it can grow and encrust any surface, including the glass component of your tank.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Yellow Eye Mycedium
The Yellow Eye 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.
Parasites & Diseases that Affect Yellow Eye Mycedium
The Yellow Eye Mycedium are prone to brown jelly infection, especially if water conditions are not met and maintained.
Yellow Eye Mycedium Origin
The Yellow Eye Mycedium can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Yellow Eye Mycedium
The Yellow Eye Mycedium has an aggressive behavior. Therefore, proper spacing must be maintained with regards to nearby corals.
How to Acclimate Yellow Eye Mycedium
The Yellow Eye Mycedium are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Yellow Eye Mycedium
The tentacles of the Yellow Eye Mycedium are classfied as sweeper tentacles where it can extend, invade and sting nearby corals.
