My First Speciosa Corals - Any advice?

[apb03]

Today I picked up this TSA Crazy 8

And a few weeks ago I got the CC Flaming Sunrise

Any tips from any experts on these Corals? What par and flow do you keep your speciosa with? Appreciate any advice you guys have.

250+ PAR as most SPS do best here. water parameter stability and good lighting is all you really need. feeding is done inadvertently by broadcast feeding your fish or feeding coral foods like reef chili, benepets, or reef roids!

I started my rrc pink hightlighter on top at 500 par, seems like maybe too much, growing fine, pe fine. But definitely lost almost all of its color over the last couple of months. I just moved it down to ~300 par. Waiting to see.

Bump! I'm also looking for tips as I'm 1/3 on speciosas right now... and I question if the one that survived is a speciosa tbh.

Not sure if mine counts since it was a wild piece, but limit swings as much as possible. Ime it’s very sensitive to temp swings

They do well for me for 3-6 months then go up in smoke when everything else is fine.

My experience as well. Hopefully one day they becoming more acclimated to aquarium life

I hope I get lucky with these. From what I can tell, the Candy Corals Flaming Sunrise was one of the very first imported from Malaysia. It's been in the hobby for five years, so hopefully, it's okay.

Not so sure about the TSA piece. I doubt it's been in captivity that long, but we will see.

I've been keeping Alk and Temp super stable, it looks like that's a must from here on out.
