Green Jasmine Polyp

Knopia corals are primarily found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific region, including areas such as the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Pacific Islands. They typically inhabit shallow reef environments, particularly on slopes and reef crests. Like most corals, Knopia corals have a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae. These algae reside within the coral's tissues and provide them with nutrients through photosynthesis. Knopia corals rely on photosynthesis as their primary source of energy. Knopia corals are considered easy to care for and suitable for beginner to advanced reef keepers. Knopia corals prefer moderate lighting levels, and moderate water flow. Knopia corals have moderate tolerance to copper. However, it is generally recommended to avoid exposing them to elevated levels of copper or other heavy metals. Copper-based medications or treatments can be toxic to corals and should be used with caution. Overall, Knopia corals are visually stunning and can add a unique touch to a reef aquarium. Corals will benefit from the addition of Calcium, Strontium, Iodine, Magnesium and Trace Elements.
