Dragon Fruit Cyphastrea
The PR Dragon Fruit Cyphastrea is named due to the fact it shares its coloration with the fruit
In my tank, it prefers dimmer light and is a fast grower
It is an LPS coral (Large polyp stony) which looks surprisingly similar to an SPS coral at first glance.
This coral is a beautiful addition as it comes with a green base and contrasting pink polyps
Cyphastrea are found in a variety of different colourations, with most of them encrusting over the rocks work
This coral needs appropriate lighting and moderate flow to maintain optimum health.
In addition to this, it will also require the correct levels of Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium along with various other trace elements found in natural seawater.
Additional feeding isn't required to maintain its health however it will feed on micro-plankton and very fine coral foods.
Care Level - Moderate
Flow - Medium

Frags of this coral are 1cm and are glued to frag plugs
