Care for Cyphastrea Coral

The Cyphastrea Coral is easy to keep and grows well in most reef aquariums. They are a great choice for adding a splash of color to lower flow, lower light areas of your reef aquarium.

Placement: Mount the Cyphastrea Coral using ReefSafe gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the lower two- thirds of the aquarium where they will receive moderate currents moderate lighting.

Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis they do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, mysis shrimp, or finely chopped meaty foods.

Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Cyphastrea Coral requires moderate water flow and moderate lighting (PAR 150-250). T5’s, Metal Halides, or LED’s can all grow Favites Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
