Briareum - Corals for beginners in marine aquariums
In contrast to stony corals, Briareum does not form a solid skeleton made of calcium carbonate. This coral is therefore more tolerant of fluctuations in calcium concentration and KH values. Briareum corals are perfect candidates for both beginners in reef aquarium keeping and for aquarists who do not (want to) pay meticulous attention to their water values.
Briareum is one of the most adaptable corals in marine aquariums
Moderate to strong currents and strong lighting allow Briareum to grow best - but the coral can also cope with very weak lighting without any problems. Be careful of the relatively strong stinging force! Therefore, position Briareum at a sufficient distance from other corals.
Fast growth of Briareum - advantages and disadvantages
Briareum has the potential to grow very quickly. Some saltwater aquarists use this property to allow it to overgrow overflow boxes or backgrounds, for example, in order to hide them. If you don't want the Briareum to cover parts of your reef structure, place the coral separately from the rest of the structure. For example, on a stone in the sand. This way you can easily control the spread.
