Candy Cane - Kryptonite
Candy Cane coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It can also be offered meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, pellets, etc. Its transparent feeding tentacles extend mainly at night, although it can learn to feed during daylight hours. It is tolerant of less-than-perfect water quality and is not prone to pests.Space should be provided between corals to allow for growth and expansion; although Candy Cane corals possess feeding tentacles they are prone to being stung and damaged by neighboring corals.Candy cane, also known as Trumpet, is easy to keep and is often the first LPS coral many hobbyists keep. Each polyp is large and fleshy and grows on its own branch. Cultured Candy Cane is typically a bright green color and may fluorescence brightly under actinic lighting. Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action. Constant laminar flow is very damaging and could cause death of the coral. Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and strontium are required for growth and should be checked regularly.

Green Star Polyp
Each polyp is connected by a flexible mat which is red to dark purple if Pachyclavularia sp. and lighter purple if Briareum sp. The mat may adhere strongly to rock or even a smooth surface like glass or plastic, but can also grow across the sand. Its growth rate may be very fast, and if placed too close to another coral it may grow right over it. Plenty of space should be provided to accommodate this future growth. If disturbed this coral may completely retract its polyps into the mat. Briareum sp. may occasionally shed a waxy sheet, which is a natural cleansing behavior. These corals receive most of their energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within their tissues. They will also benefit from occasional feedings of fine zooplankton. Being highly adaptable and nearly pest and disease free makes them a great choice for beginners. Most coral eating fish will not touch them; any damage that may occur to the colony is typically re-grown with vigor. They may be sensitive to the aluminum oxide in some phosphate-absorbing media, and to the over use of iodine. Occasionally blowing the colony with a baster or powerhead will help clear detritus from between the polyps and discourage nuisance algae.Star Polyp resembles its close relative Pipe Organ coral; the main difference is speed of growth. While Star Polyp grows very quickly, Pipe Organ grows much slower as it must construct a rigid tube for each polyp. Difficulty: Easy Growth Speed: Fast Lighting: Low - High Average Placement: Low - Top Water Flow: Low - Strong Temperament: Peaceful Green Star Polyp is an all-time favorite which nearly every aquarist keeps at one time or another. It is affectionately known as “GSP” and is known for its intense emerald color, which fluoresces vividly under actinic lighting. The base of each tentacle is often deep pink, with a spot of stark white in the center of each polyp.

Frogspawn - Bi-Color
This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It can also absorb dissolved nutrients from the water and may be offered zooplankton coral preparations, rotifers, mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, etc.Although Euphyllia corals can be quite hardy and not prone to pests, they are not tolerant of poor water quality and may fail to extend their polyps. Physical damage to the coral should be avoided at all cost, as it is prone to infectious brown jelly infection.This coral should be provided with plenty of space as it may produce long, powerful sweeper tentacles; low water flow helps to minimize the growth of these tentacles.This coral has clusters of long tentacles, each one branched with rounded tips in a contrasting hue, resembling a mass of amphibian eggs. The tips may also bring to mind the suction cups along an octopus’s arms. Ultra Australian colors are always exceedingly bright and impressive, and usually fluorescence brightly under actinic lighting.Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action. Constant laminar flow is very damaging and could cause death of the coral. Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and strontium are required for growth and should be checked regularly.

Chalice - Assorted
This interesting coral most often takes on a plating shape, able to encrust onto and extend outward from the rockwork. Occasionally it may develop whirls, branches or crinkled shapes. Ultra Australian specimens are always vividly colored and are more rare and impressive than those from other locations.Echinophyllia corals are best known for their flashy, saturated colors, which may be nearly any color of the rainbow; many colonies show contrasting colors. It is similar to Mycedium and Oxypora, but tends to puff up its tissue more than its relatives, especially around the edges of the colony where it may extend up to an inch from the skeleton. Its large, raised corallites often point in many different angles. It is one of the hardiest and most adaptable of the Chalice corals. Faviidae, or Closed Brain corals, are quite hardy and adaptable, making them a great first introduction to stony corals. This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It can also be offered small meaty items such as mysis and enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, and pellets. Its transparent feeding tentacles extend mainly at night, although it can learn to feed during daylight hours. It is tolerant of less-than-perfect water quality and not prone to pests.Space should be provided between corals to allow for growth and expansion, as its long sweeper tentacles have a strong sting.

Pulsing Xenia
Xenia corals do not possess stinging cells or even a full digestive system, relying heavily on dissolved nutrients in the water. Often times new aquariums (under 1 year) and those with high fish loads or frequent feedings provide the best conditions. It also contains photosynthetic algae within its tissues. Colonies may grow and divide by fission, as often as every 2 weeks. The animal may crawl over surfaces with its base, or let go completely and float to a new location. It prefers to attach to rocks or glass in a vertical position, but may grow nearly anywhere.Its pulsing behavior is not fully understood; colonies may pulse rapidly or cease completely, only to begin again later when conditions suit it. The movement may be based on feeding or respiration, as the coral lacks the fully functioning ciliary action that many other corals possess.While Xenia corals have non-stinging tentacles, it is possible for them to release potent chemicals into the water which adversely affect the growth of stony corals; the use of carbon filtration (changed frequently) and regular water changes can minimize this. It has few pests aside from syllid worms. We recommend every coral be dipped before being placed in a display aquarium.Pumping Xenia, or Pulsing coral, is a popular choice for new aquarists. Its charming appearance is enhanced by its mysterious habit of rhythmically pulsing its polyps, adding a delightful element to the reef. Its stalk is typically a light tan color with darker “feathers” on its polyps, which are held on branches which may be long or stout.

Red Mushroom
Mushroom corals receive most of their energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within their tissues. They will also benefit from occasional feedings of zooplankton and small meaty items such as brine shrimp. They are covered by a thick layer of mucus which helps them consume small edible particles, and they also absorb dissolved nutrients from the water. They are very adaptable and virtually pest and disease free.Mushrooms are peaceful with other corals so long as they do not physically touch them- they have been known to melt other corals, especially stony corals, in this situation. Different colors of mushrooms often co-exist well in close proximity. It is very uncommon, but possible, for large specimens to close around and consume small animals such as fish.Mushroom corals are easy to keep and are a popular first coral for beginners, often growing and multiplying quickly. They come in many color varieties and textures. The Blue Mushroom is smooth, sometimes with small bumps, and has a blueish to purple color. Several corals will be attached to a rock.

Ricordea mushroom corals receive most of their energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within their tissues. They will benefit from occasional feedings of zooplankton and small meaty items such as brine shrimp. They are covered by a thick layer of mucus which helps them consume small edible particles, and they also absorb dissolved nutrients from the water.

Different colors of Ricordea often co-exist well in close proximity. Difficulty: Intermediate Growth Speed: Medium Lighting: Medium - High Average Placement: Mid Level Water Flow: Low Temperament: Semi-Aggressive The Orange Ricordea is a rare color morph which may show hints of other colors or a brightly hued mouth, and typically arrives loose without any substrate.It is often beneficial upon introduction to place the coral in low or shaded light and gradually move it to a more brightly lit location. To encourage it to attach to substrate it may be placed in a shallow dish with course rubble or rock. Ricordea may show better color and growth if given higher light levels and more food than more common types of mushroom.Florida Ricordea are covered in bumps of mainly uniform size, as opposed to Yuma Ricordea which often have larger bumps around their outside edge which gradually become smaller towards the center.

Hammer - Toxic Green Branching
This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It can also absorb dissolved nutrients from the water and may be offered zooplankton coral preparations, rotifers, mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, etc.Although Euphyllia corals can be quite hardy and not prone to pests, they are not tolerant of poor water quality and may fail to extend their polyps. Physical damage to the coral should be avoided at all cost, as it is prone to infectious brown jelly infection.This coral should be provided with plenty of space as it may produce long, powerful sweeper tentacles; low water flow helps to minimize the growth of these tentacles.With tentacles waving in the current in an almost hypnotic fashion, Hammer coral has charmed nearly every reef keeper at some point. Each tentacle ends in a single “T” shaped tip in a contrasting hue from its stalk.Ultra Australian colors are always exceedingly bright and impressive, and usually fluorescence brightly under actinic lighting.Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action.

Micromussa Lord - Assorted B Grade
This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It will benefit from occasional feedings of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, chopped krill, pellets, etc. Some corals may also respond to phytoplankton. Its transparent feeding tentacles extend mainly at night, although it can learn to feed during daylight hours.Open brain corals are able to expand their tissues to a surprising size, and are often called Meat corals. They thrive under dim to moderate light, and may be damaged by intense illumination. They are often nipped on by fish, especially angelfish. Many open brains are sensitive to the chemicals released by soft corals, such as leathers, lemnalia and mushrooms; the use of carbon filtration (changed frequently) and regular water changes can minimize this.Space should be provided between corals to allow for growth and expansion; although open brain corals possess feeding tentacles they are prone to being stung and damaged by neighboring corals.The fleshy polyps of Acan corals may be any color of the rainbow. Colored corals may be a solid color or at most two colors, and may be arranged as stripes or rings. Australian specimens are more rare and impressive than those from other locations. So many color combinations are possible that they lend themselves to being very collectable.Water flow is best provided as turbulent flow with the use of a wave maker or surge action. Constant laminar flow is very damaging and could cause death of the coral. Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and strontium are required for growth and should be checked regularly.

Walking Dendro Coral
An absolutely delightful creature, the Walking Dendro coral contains inside of its skeleton a commensal peanut worm. As the worm moves around in search of food it also moves its coral host, which helps prevent the coral from being buried in the substrate. This is a fairly new animal to the captive aquarium scene which we are very excited about. It is usually yellowish to orange with long tentacles which emerge in dim lighting or when it detects food.The Walking Dendro coral may contain photosynthetic algae within its tissues providing a small amount of energy, however it is best cared for like a non-photosythetic coral, that is, frequent feedings of meaty items. It will accept mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, pellets, etc. Feedings should be as regular as possible, at least once every two or three days. Weak specimens may conserve energy by refusing to open; in this situation food may have to settle on the polyps for some time before it will eat. The worm does not require much aside from a mature sand bed to provide it with food, and a slow acclimation to the aquarium.If regular feedings are provided it will reward the dedicated aquarist with growth and good polyp extension. It is typically solitary and does not become colonial. It is semi-aggressive and should be protected from contacting other corals.Because of its requirement for frequent feeding it makes an excellent tank-mate with sun coral, carnation, flowerpot, filter-feeding gorgonians, chili sponge, as well as invertebrates such as sponges, tunicates, porcelain crabs, feather duster worms including those living within Porites coral, clams and oysters, cucumbers and sea apples, etc. Difficulty: Advanced Growth Speed: Slow Lighting:Medium - High Average Placement: Low Water Flow: Low - Medium Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
