Experience the Unique Beauty of the Blue-Purple Organ Pipe Coral

Discover the enchanting Organ Pipe Coral, a truly distinctive soft coral celebrated for its vibrant blue-purple polyps emerging from a striking red skeleton.

Overview

The Organ Pipe Coral (*Tubipora musica*) is a captivating soft coral that builds a rigid, bright red calcium carbonate skeleton, giving it a unique, stony appearance. Delicate blue-purple polyps extend from tube-like structures, swaying gently in the water flow, creating a mesmerizing display. Found naturally in the shallow reef flats and lagoons of the Indo-Pacific, this coral forms colonies that resemble clusters of organ pipes adorned with colourful, flower-like polyps.

Care Level

With a care level described as intermediate to moderate, the Organ Pipe Coral is best suited for experienced aquarists. While generally peaceful and non-aggressive, it requires stable water parameters and can be sensitive to poor conditions.

Tank Essentials

This coral thrives in established reef aquariums with a minimum size of 190 litres (50 gallons). Maintain stable water parameters: pH between 8.1–8.4, salinity of 1.023–1.026, and a temperature range of 23–27°C (74–80°F).

Diet

While photosynthetic, the Organ Pipe Coral benefits greatly from supplemental feedings of phytoplankton, marine snow, or specialized coral foods to maintain its health and vibrant coloration.
