Plerogyra sinuosa, commonly known as Bubble Coral, is a captivating LPS coral prized for its distinctive bubble-like vesicles and vibrant green colouring. This XXL specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef tanks.
Lighting: Prefers moderate lighting conditions to maintain optimal health and vibrant colouration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is ideal to gently sway the bubbles without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the aquarium, ensuring it has ample space to expand without touching neighbouring corals, as it can exhibit aggressive sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry due to its specific lighting and flow needs.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggression. Avoid placing near fast-growing or highly aggressive species.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and colour.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels.
This XXL green Plerogyra sinuosa is a premium addition for those looking to enhance their reef display with a visually striking and unique LPS coral.
