WYSIWYG* This is a thick branching coral that does very well for beginners looking to get into SPS. This can grow quickly and can tolerate a range of lighting and flow, but has been found to grow best in moderate to high lighting (PAR 150-250) with moderate to high flow. While this one has been aquacultured for many years, it originated from the Red Sea. Our SPS corals are broadcast fed our Nannochloropsis phytoplankton to insure healthy tissue and color.
Purple Stylophora
