Siphonogorgia hicksoni Soft Coral

Chironephthya hicksoni wird umgangssprachlich als azooxanthellate Weichkoralle bezeichnet. Bei der Haltung gibt es daher einige Dinge unbedingt zu beachten. Wenn auch wir selber das Tier noch nicht in einem Aquarium gesehen haben, gehen wir von einer schwer haltbaren Art aus. Es wird ein Aquarium von mindestens 500 Liter empfohlen.
