Hammer - Purple Tip 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. 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.

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.

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.

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. Difficulty: Easy Growth Speed: Fast Lighting: Low-Medium Average Placement: Low Water Flow: Low-Medium Temperament: Semi-Aggressive 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 Red Mushroom may be smooth or have small bumps and be bright red to orange. Several corals will be attached to a rock.

Bubble Coral (Ultra)
This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. At night time it will retract the bubbles and extend its feeding tentacles, and will benefit from meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, pellets, etc. It can alter the size of its bubbles to expose its symbiotic algae to more or less light, however like all corals sudden changes in light intensity should be avoided.Bubble corals can be hardy once established and are not prone to pests, aside from planaria flatworms. When handling this coral it should be picked up via the skeleton only, and allowed to fully retract before removing from the water. It has thin tissue which is prone to tearing, and may suffer from infectious brown jelly infection due to injury if removed from water while inflated, from falls due to incorrect placement, or high water flow.This coral should be provided with plenty of space as it may produce long, powerful sweeper tentacles.The Bubble coral is an irresistible display of large water filled balloons which totally obscure the stony skeleton underneath. Its alluring appearance has made it a favorite of many hobbyists. The ultra Bubble is typically translucent green, and may fluorescence brightly under actinic lighting. Australian specimens are more rare and impressive than those from other locations. It is best positioned on the rockwork where it cannot fall, in a vertical position. 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.

Gorgonian/Sea Fan
This coral is completely non-photosynthetic and receives its energy by capturing copepod nauplii, rotifers, fine zooplankton and coral snow. A refugium is helpful in supplementing the main aquarium with live prey items. Intense lighting is not needed and may actually be detrimental.Moderate water flow is essential and is ideally provided using diffused laminar flow, with the coral’s polyps facing away from the flow. This will deliver food to the polyps and also will clear nuisance algae, cyanobacteria and debris from its branches. A very soft brush may also be used to help keep it clean. In extreme cases it may be soaked in fresh water of the same temperature and pH for up to one minute. They should also be inspected for predatory pests such as Primovula sp. snails. The coral may occasionally shed a waxy sheet, which is a natural cleansing behavior.Gorgonians will secure themselves to the substrate via a holdfast. It may be necessary to secure the coral initially with epoxy or ties until it has grown. Gorgonians may also grow quite tall, so they should be placed low enough to allow for future growth. Most non-photosynthetic species are supported by an armature of fused calcareous sclerites which may be brittle. Care should be taken when handling; however, if a branch is broken it may regrow into a new coral.Gorgonians are very sensitive to ammonia and may retract their polyps if they detect poor water quality. They create anti-microbial chemicals which helps them to resist disease. However, if it is seen that the tip of a branch is being lost then that branch should be fed heavily for about a week and then the tip should be clipped off slightly into the healthy tissue and the coral may heal itself.

Rasta Zoa
This coral receives much of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It also depends on absorbing nutrients from the water, and will benefit from occasional feedings of zooplankton and coral snow. Zoanthids are often covered in a heavy mucus layer which helps them capture prey. Many types may be voracious feeders if offered meaty items, especially those corals with long tapering tentacles. Their sting is quite mild, however they can grow fast enough to over-grow other corals, so adequate space should be provided to accommodate future growth. Those species with shorter tentacles typically require higher water flow than those with longer tentacles, and all types will benefit from bright light.Most species contain toxins in their mucus and tissues, including the potent neurotoxin palytoxin, which may be dangerous to humans. It is important not to underestimate this toxin- gloves are highly recommended when handling this coral. Sand Zoanthus polyps may be any of nearly limitless colors, often pink, red, or green, often with contrasting skirts or mouths in a different color. Different color varieties may grow next to one another peacefully, so it is possible to create a rainbow garden. Collected from Australia, each colony is unique.Sand Zoanthus polyps are a type of Zoanthid, also called colonial anemones. They grow in a cluster by budding, and are attached at the base by runners or a mat. Occasionally blowing the colony with a baster or powerhead will help clear detritus from between the polyps and discourage nuisance algae. They are very hardy and are quite tolerant of poor water quality. However, they may be prone to pests such as predatory nudibranch, sundial snails, spiders, some Asterina sp. starfish, and zoa pox infection. Dipping the coral before adding to a display aquarium is highly recommended. Some fish may also nip on them.

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
