Caulastrea echinulata (frag)

Caulastrea echinulata is a visually stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its bubble-like polyps and vibrant colours. This frag is cultivated by DJM, ensuring healthy, tank-bred specimens ideal for marine reef aquariums.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal, providing enough movement to keep the coral clean without causing tissue damage.

Placement: Position this coral on rockwork or substrate with adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for expansion.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.

Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; maintain spacing from aggressive corals to avoid stinging.

Regular water quality maintenance and stable parameters will support healthy growth and vibrant colours. Feeding with occasional target feeding of meaty foods can enhance polyp extension and vitality.
