STYLOCOENIELLA
Stylocoeniella are a relatively easy coral to care for. They are columnar or encrusting species with small polyps that branch out. Stylocoeniella have 8 direct children and vary in colour. As they are fairly recent additions to the hobby there is potential for different colour morphs to come through.
It is often confused with Montipora or even Goniopora due to their short and stubby polyps yet they remain in their own separate genus. Their common name is “thorn coral” due to the look of the polyps.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Stylocoeniella is not particularly finicky when it comes to water chemistry. While we have our preferred parameters for Alkalinity, Phosphate, and Nitrate, Axinella will do far better in your system if you just focus on keeping the water chemistry stable. If your Alkalinity, Phosphate, or Nitrate is out of line, our recommendation is to get it back to your target levels as slowly as possible.
The parameters we aim for are:
|
Alkalinity |
8.3 dKH |
|
Phosphate |
0.05 - 0.15 ppm |
|
Nitrate |
5.0 - 15.0 ppm |
We maintain these levels by use of dosing pumps, with Brightwell Aquatics Reef Code A and Reef Code B.
It's important to understand that these are the levels that we aim for in our LPS systems. However, that doesn't mean they are the right levels for your system. All aquariums are different and your system may naturally fall on a different balance. You're better off working with the balance your system tends towards than trying to force the same levels that we run.
FLOW
In terms of flow Stylocoeniella will need to be kept in a low - moderate flow area. Too much flow causes the polyps to stay receded close to the body. In turn, the coral will not get its proper nutrients as its filtration through the polyps will be decreased. Too little flow can cause detritus build up, and no flow to reach the bottom of the colony,potentially leading to tissue death.
LIGHTING
Stylocoeniella are among the less is more group when it comes to lighting. As with many of the LPS corals, too much light can cause a bleaching event in Stylocoeniella, so we recommend placing these corals in areas with medium - low light. As we’ve mentioned before, these coral can be trained for higher PAR, but if this is your wish we recommend doing it slowly as the potential for bleaching is high.

Acclimation
Acclimation
Temperature Match
Float the sealed bag containing the coral in your tank for 15-20 minutes. This allows the coral to gradually reach the same temperature as your aquarium, minimizing temperature-related stress.
Prepare and Dip Coral
To ensure the health and safety of your new coral, prepare a dip solution using tank water and a coral dip product, following the dip’s instructions for dosage and timing. This precautionary dip helps protect your tank by eliminating any potential hitchhikers. Keep an eye on the coral during the process to confirm it’s responding well.
Rinse in Tank Water
After the dip, rinse the coral thoroughly in a separate container filled with clean tank water. This step removes any residual dip solution, preventing it from entering your display tank and ensuring the coral is safe to be introduced.
Introduce Coral
Carefully position the coral in your tank, ideally on a rock or suitable location based on the coral’s needs. Make sure the placement allows proper flow and lighting according to the coral species. Monitor the coral for the next few hours to ensure it adjusts well.
