Caring for Your Reef

Corals reward stability. A mature, well-cycled reef with steady parameters is all it takes for colour to deepen and colonies to flourish.

Temperature

Warm and stable is the goal for a reef.

24 – 26°C

Salinity

Keep specific gravity steady with regular top-ups.

1.024 – 1.026

Alkalinity

Stable dKH is the single most important parameter.

8 – 11 dKH

Lighting

Softies & LPS low–medium; SPS need strong light (PAR).

Low → High

Flow

Gentle for softies & LPS, strong turbulent flow for SPS.

Low → High

Feeding

Target-feed LPS and dose coral food for colour & growth.

Returns & Refunds 🪸

Because we deal in live animals, our policies differ from standard retail. Please read before ordering.

No Returns Policy

We cannot accept returns on live animals

Due to the nature of live animals, we are unable to accept returns under any circumstances. This is non-negotiable and exists to protect the health of our coral systems.

Once corals leave our facility and enter a new environment, they may be exposed to different water parameters, bacteria, or pathogens. Reintroducing them to our tanks would put our entire stock at risk of contamination or disease.

Before you order

Please ensure your reef is fully cycled, parameters are stable, and you're ready to receive livestock. If you have any questions about placement, lighting, flow, or compatibility, contact us before buying — we're happy to advise and want to make sure your corals thrive.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept this no-returns policy.

Dead on Arrival Guarantee

Full refund if they arrive dead

We take great care with our packaging and live delivery, but occasionally losses can occur during transit. If any coral arrives dead, we will issue a full refund — no questions asked.

Your satisfaction and the wellbeing of our corals are our top priorities. We stand behind every shipment we send out.

How to claim your refund
1
Take a clear photo
Photograph the dead coral still inside the sealed, unopened bag. This is essential for verification.
2
Act quickly
Submit your claim within 1 hour of delivery. This tight window protects both you and us.
3
Send to us
Email the photo to aquashrimp.co.uk@gmail.com with your order number in the subject line.

Important: Claims submitted after 1 hour, or without a photo showing the coral inside the unopened bag, cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are processed within 3–5 business days back to your original payment method.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before ordering

How many corals can I keep in my tank? +

There's no strict number — corals grow, so the key is spacing. Leave gaps between frags so they don't touch and sting each other as they spread. Start with a few, add gradually, and aquascape with future growth in mind.

Do I need a heater? +

Yes. Reef tanks are kept warm and stable at 24–26°C, so a reliable heater — ideally on a separate controller for safety — is essential, especially through UK winters. Stable temperature matters more than the exact number.

Can I keep corals with fish? +

Most reef-safe fish are fine alongside corals. Avoid known coral-nippers (many large angelfish and some butterflyfish). Always check a fish's reef-safety before adding it, and watch for individuals that pick at polyps.

What water parameters do corals need? +

Temp 24–26°C | Salinity 1.024–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.4 | Alkalinity 8–11 dKH | Calcium ~400–450 ppm | Magnesium ~1300–1400 ppm. Keep ammonia & nitrite at 0, and nitrate/phosphate low but not zero. Stability is everything — avoid sudden swings.

How fast do corals grow? +

It depends on the type. Soft corals like GSP and zoas can spread quickly, LPS such as hammer put on new heads steadily, and SPS branch fastest once your tank is mature and stable. With good light, flow and steady alkalinity you'll see visible growth within weeks to months.

Do I need to dip new corals? +

We strongly recommend it. A quick coral dip before adding any new frag helps remove hitchhiking pests like flatworms and nudibranchs. Acclimate slowly to your tank's temperature and ease corals into their light over a week or two.
