Unique Corals Aqua-cultured, healthy and colorful! Tank hardened.
Cyphastrea are an easy to care for encrusting coral. Under higher light the blue on this strain tends pop even more. It's important to understand that for Cyphastrea "high light" is a different level than the high light often discussed in reference to species like Acropora. Cyphastrea can do well in low light (sub 50 PAR) but tend to color up better in what would be for them higher light conditions (100 PAR). They like higher flow and will slowly encrust over any structure you mount them on.
HUSBANDRY NOTES: LPS- We keep our corals under Dalua/Illumagic X4 LED lights with an intensity of approximately 100 PAR and feed regularly with Polyp Lab Reef Roids and BenePets.
Note: This is a stock item. No more waiting for frags to heal! If this coral shows in stock it is ready for immediate ship-out. We have added multiple growing systems in order to help us achieve a better grow-out supply. This means that we are now proud to be able to offer our frags immediately. If you wish to purchase a larger size piece please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate.
Shown are the mother colony we frag from as well as close up (macro lens) pictures and a representation photo of a typical frag. We aim to make each frag 1” in size and larger when possibly. Occasionally the frags might be a tad smaller than 1” but if you read our reviews, you will see that we typically surpass expectations.
You may notice the slight color differences between the videos and stock photos. This is normal. The coral colors in the videos are raw (unprocessed), shot with a cell phone and taken under balanced lighting. The coral colors in the still shots are under bluer lights using a DSLR camara with minimal processing. Happy reefing!
