Galaxea fascicularis "Ice Ice Baby" - Coral frag

Galaxea fascicularis – “Ice Ice Baby”

(Purple tissue with intensely blue glowing tips)

Characteristics:

• Species: Galaxea fascicularis (LPS stony coral)

• Variant: “Ice Ice Baby”

• Color: Deep violet to purple tissue, combined with crystal-clear blue fluorescent polyp tips – an icy, high-contrast look

• Structure: Densely packed, crystalline polyps with typical Galaxea texture and very fine, long tentacles

• Light Requirement: Medium to high; the blue "Ice Tips" glow particularly strongly under actinic LED lighting

• Flow: Moderate; gentle, constant movement supports polyp opening and growth

Care Instructions:
The Galaxea "Ice Ice Baby" is a robust and intensely colored LPS coral that grows reliably with stable water parameters. It forms long sweeper tentacles, so a lateral distance to sensitive neighbors should be maintained. Occasional feeding with fine LPS or plankton food can further support color and growth.

Special Features:

• Rare color variant with clearly defined blue "Ice" tips

• Strong fluorescence – ideal for reef aquariums with a blue light focus

• Resilient LPS, suitable for beginners and advanced aquarists

• Requires some distance from other corals due to its long tentacles

• Perfect as a "frost highlight" in the middle to lower reef area
