- Appearance Description
- Large branching coral with thick, fleshy polyps that can extend dramatically when feeding. Coloration ranges from light tan to brown, often with contrasting oral disc coloration in shades of white, green, or cream. Highly contractile.
- Additional Notes
- Large, fleshy LPS with long sweeping tentacles. When fully inflated it looks like a big, living sea anemone. Place in low to moderate light with gentle to moderate flow. Too much flow causes the tissue to retract. Stable alkalinity and nutrients are important. Some imported specimens suffer from Elegance Coral Syndrome, so buying an aquacultured or Australian specimen improves your chances of long term success.
