🐠 Did you know that some marine fish feed on corals?

🌿 While most herbivorous fish prefer algae, some species, such as some angelfish (Pomacanthids), also eat coral and its polyps! 🏝️ This diet, called corallivory, allows them to access unique nutrients and play a role in the balance of coral reefs.

✨ Pectinia sp. - Sculpted Brain Coral ✨

πŸ“ Description
The Pectinia sp., commonly known as the Sculpted Brain Coral, is a striking large-polyp stony coral (LPS) known for its intricate, brain-like ridges and valleys. Its unique structure not only makes it a visually captivating addition to any reef tank but also aids in its survival by allowing it to adapt to varying light levels. During the day, its vibrant colors, often in shades of green, orange, or purple, glow brightly, while at night, it extends long tentacles to capture plankton and other food particles. This coral’s distinctive appearance and behaviors make it a standout choice for aquarists. 🧠🌟

🏞️ Habitat
In the wild, Pectinia sp. is found in shallow reef environments, often attached to rocky surfaces or crevices in areas with moderate water movement. It thrives in areas with moderate to low light and enjoys stable, clear water conditions, mimicking its natural habitat along reef slopes and fore-reef zones 🌊.

πŸ’§ Water Quality
To keep your Pectinia sp. thriving, maintain the following water parameters:
🌑️ Temperature: 24-28°C (75-82°F)
βš–οΈ Salinity: 1.023-1.025
πŸ“ Kh: 8-10
🦴 Calcium: 380-450 ppm
πŸ”· Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm

🌿 Feeding
Although Pectinia sp. is capable of photosynthesis through its zooxanthellae, it greatly benefits from additional feeding 🌿. Offer it meaty foods such as plankton, brine shrimp, or mysis shrimp at night, when its tentacles are extended. Regular feeding helps promote healthy growth and vibrant coloration.

πŸ”† Lighting
This coral prefers moderate to low lighting, similar to the dappled or shaded light it receives in the wild. Direct or intense lighting can stress the coral, so it’s best to place it in areas with indirect or lower light πŸ’‘.

🌊 Water Flow
A moderate water flow is ideal for the Pectinia sp. It allows for adequate gas exchange and keeps debris from accumulating around its delicate surface. Strong currents can damage the coral’s tissue, so avoid placing it in high-flow areas πŸŒͺ️.

✨ Cynaria Lacrymalis - Pearl Bubble Coral ✨

πŸ“ Description
The Cynaria lacrymalis, also known as the Pearl Bubble Coral, is a stunning large-polyp stony coral (LPS) recognized for its bubble-like vesicles that expand during the day, creating a serene and mesmerizing display. These vesicles help regulate light exposure and protect the coral’s delicate tissue. At night, its long sweeping tentacles extend to capture food, making it a functional and visually captivating addition to your reef tank. Its soft pastel hues of green, blue, or cream add an enchanting touch to any marine setup. πŸ«§πŸ’«

🏞️ Habitat
In the wild, the Pearl Bubble Coral is found on deep reef slopes and shaded crevices, where it attaches to rocky surfaces. It thrives in environments with low to moderate water flow and indirect lighting, mimicking the peaceful conditions of overhangs and reef walls 🌊.

πŸ’§ Water Quality
To keep your Cynaria lacrymalis healthy, maintain stable water parameters:
🌑️ Temperature: 24-28°C (75-82°F)
βš–οΈ Salinity: 1.023-1.025
πŸ“ Kh: 8-10
🦴 Calcium: 380-450 ppm
πŸ”· Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm

🌿 Feeding
While Cynaria lacrymalis relies primarily on photosynthesis through its symbiotic zooxanthellae, it also benefits from supplemental feeding 🌿. Offer meaty foods like plankton, brine shrimp, or mysis shrimp at night when its tentacles are extended. Regular feeding promotes growth and helps maintain its vibrant colors.

πŸ”† Lighting
This coral prefers low to moderate lighting, similar to the dappled light it would receive in its natural habitat. Too much direct light can cause stress, so it’s best to place it in a shaded or low-light area of the tank πŸ’‘.

🌊 Water Flow
A gentle to moderate water flow is best for the Pearl Bubble Coral, ensuring proper gas exchange and preventing detritus buildup without damaging its delicate vesicles. Avoid high-flow areas, as strong currents can damage its tissue πŸŒͺ️.
