Possesses very sticky tentacles that allow it to catch all sorts of prey. |
Indo-Pacific -
Islands of the Indopacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.
Medium to high lighting would serve this species well.
Pseudocorynactis can be kept under high output fluorescent bulbs, but may benefit from more intense lighting.
It will likely change its coloration depending on the lighting provided.
Pseudocorynactis may require a longer acclimation period to intense lighting such as metal halides.
Moderate water movement is recommended.
Like most coral, Pseudocorynactis rely to a large extent on the products of their zooxanthellae,
however, in our experience, they also benefit from direct feeding.
There are a variety of frozen fish foods available that make outstanding meals for Pseudocorynactis.
We like to feed a mixture of meaty foods such as shrimp, fish, and squid with vitamin additives and
highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA).
The size of the food must be small enough that the polyp can fully ingest it.
