Reef Aquarium - The Elegance Coral


The Catalaphyllia Elegance Coral is a large polyp stony (LPS) Its polyps are extended during the day showing off its vast array of color-tipped tentacles.

The Elegance Coral is moderate to maintain in the reef aquarium and makes an excellent choice for both the beginner and expert aquarist. Provide ample space in the aquarium between it and other neighboring corals as it will expand to twice its usual size during the day and will sting other corals. Ideal reef aquarium conditions for the Elegance Coral should include moderate lighting with moderate water movement.

For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.  It will benefit from additional food fed daily in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp.
