Description
Name: Plerogyra sinuosa
Temperature: 24-26C
Flow: low-mid
PAR: 50-150
Water parameters: Nitrate 5-10 mg/l, Phosphate 0,05-0,08 mg/l
Feeding: Like many of our other LPS, we strongly believe that feeding is a major key to the long term success of keeping Bubble Corals. They can be fed a mix of meaty foods such as pieces of mysis shrimp or small pellet food.
Care level: Easy
Location
Bubble Corals are found in the islands of the Indo-Pacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef. Our Bubble Corals typically come from Australia unless otherwise noted.
Lighting
Bubble Corals do well in medium to moderate light. We recommend starting with medium light for Bubble Corals because it is safer to err on the side of too little light than too much light. Providing too much light will result in the Bubble Coral rapidly losing coloration and staying partially closed.
Water Flow
We recommend keeping the coral in an area of the tank with low to medium flow. High flow is not recommended and may cause the flesh to tear away from the skeleton.
