PH: Recommend 8.0-8.4, we tend to run around 8.2-8.3 over 24 hours. You can read more about pH in our article pH and your Reef Tank You can read more about temperature and how it affects your reef tank in our article Temperature and your Reef Tank. NATURAL TEMPERATURE: 82 ☏ / 28 ☌ although most corals can adapt and survive in temps as low as 77 degrees and as high as 84 degrees. We recommend providing at least 3" space from other species but as always you should monitor it. They are not the most aggressive coral but they are equipped with sweepers that will increase in size with the colony. Platygyra lamellina.ĪGGRESSION: MODERATE. Platygyra lamellina (Hard brain coral).jpg. SCIENTIFIC NAME: Platygyra is a genus of stony corals in the family Merulinidae. As always the specific coloration and size of the specimen will dictate the price. More basic colored frags tend to be on the low end of pricing while certain color varieties such as pink and highlighter yellow fetch a higher price. Platygyra are moderately priced depending on color and size variety. Like with all corals, specimens have been seen to do well in captivity when the right combination of Food/Light/Flow and Filtration are achieved. Although a slow grower, the platygyra is often found in striking two tone color combinations and is an encrusting coral. There are plenty of aquacultured varieties of platygyra available and this tells us that many hobbyists have been able to find long term success. You can read more about Flow and its overall impact on your reef tank in our article Flow and your Reef TankĭIFFICULTY: BEGINNER. Platygyra corals benefit from moderate water movement which will be enough to keep the coral clean of any detritus and debris while bringing food to its many polyps. Too much flow, especially direct flow, can cause damage to the corals tissue or an inability to capture food. You can learn more about Feeding and Filtration in our article Feeding, Filtration and your Reef Tank.įLOW: MODERATE. Like most corals they capture nutrients from the water and will do best when supplied a healthy amount of food. You can learn more about Lighting and it's overall impact on your reef tank in our article Lighting and your Reef TankįOOD: We haven't noticed that any special feeding strategies are required for this coral. It is important to keep in mind that it is far easier to damage coral with too much lighting so in our opinion when it comes to lighting, less is often more for LPS corals. Plus, the best haunted Airbnbs, eeriest ghost towns, and most elaborate cemeteries in the US are not to be missed either.LIGHT: LOW-MODERATE (75-125 par) is what we find best. No matter where this fall season takes you, there are plenty of fall foliage and pumpkin patches to keep you busy too. From Indiana’s Exploration Acres (which has four mazes built over 20 acres of farmland) to the Great Vermont Corn Maze (New England’s largest corn maze), or even Connecticut’s Ekonk Hill Turkey Farm (an especially kid-friendly destination), these labyrinths are suited for family outings and adult exploration alike. We’ve rounded up the coolest corn mazes across the country, each of which earns its place in the sun for anything from intricate designs to spooky Halloween happenings. Thankfully though, the best and biggest corn mazes in America are less Stephen King and more Mark Twain. The thought of getting lost in a multi-acre labyrinth, surrounded by 10-foot-plus corn stalks, facing miles of winding paths and the prospect that you might be lost forever. There's a reason why movies like Children of the Corn, The Shining and even Signs still scare the heebee-jeebies out of us, even after multiple rewatches.
