Introduce the captivating Broccoli Coral, *Litophyton arboreum*, a unique soft coral that brings dynamic movement and natural beauty to any marine aquarium.

Overview

Known for its branching, tree-like structure and textured appearance, the Broccoli Coral (*Litophyton arboreum*) is a captivating soft coral. Its coloration can range from pale olive-green to yellow or grey, adding subtle yet striking visual interest to your reef. This non-aggressive coral sways gently in the water current, creating a natural and fluid aesthetic. It thrives with a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae algae, which provide energy through photosynthesis, but also benefits from supplemental feeding.

Care Level

This coral is considered easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists and experienced reef keepers alike. It is peaceful with other corals and integrates well into mixed reef tanks, not requiring complex husbandry.

Tank Essentials

The Broccoli Coral prefers stable, well-oxygenated water. Ideal parameters include a temperature of 24–26 °C, salinity of 35 ppt (1.025), and a pH of 8.0–8.4. Moderate to strong lighting and water flow are recommended to encourage polyp extension and overall health.

Diet

While primarily photosynthetic, *Litophyton arboreum* benefits from supplemental feeding. Offer it live phytoplankton or phytoplankton concentrates to ensure it receives all necessary nutrients.
