Fox Coral

The unique Fox coral can inflate itself to an amazing size, becoming a visual masterpiece of ruffles and frills bathed in hues of delicate pink. Its puffy flesh is lined with stipes emanating from the center and extending outward to its lacy edges.

This coral receives most of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues and absorbing dissolved nutrients from the water. It is not prone to pests and only somewhat susceptible to brown jelly infection. It asks for little more than space to expand and gentle water flow.

Although this coral does not sting and is somewhat resistant to the stings from other corals, it nonetheless should be provided with space around it.
