Stunning Meteor Shower Cyphastrea Coral for Your Reef Aquarium

Add vibrant colour and unique texture to your reef with the hardy and visually striking Cyphastrea coral.

Overview

Known for its distinctive polyp pattern resembling a meteor shower, Cyphastrea corals are a popular choice for reef enthusiasts. These encrusting stony corals come in a variety of stunning colour morphs, including greens, blues, reds, and purples, often with contrasting polyp centres. They are relatively fast-growing and adaptable, making them a rewarding addition to a well-maintained aquarium. Cyphastrea corals are generally peaceful but can extend sweeper tentacles at night, so appropriate spacing is essential.

Care Level

Easy. Cyphastrea corals are a great choice for beginner reef keepers due to their hardiness and tolerance for varying water conditions. They adapt well to different lighting and flow, but stable parameters are key for optimal health and colouration.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended for Cyphastrea. They thrive in stable water conditions with a temperature of 23-27°C (74-80°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a salinity of 1.024-1.026.

Diet

While Cyphastrea corals gain primary nutrition through photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae, they benefit from occasional supplemental feeding. Target feeding with fine particulate foods like phytoplankton or zooplankton 1-2 times per week can enhance growth and colour.
