Live Coral
Yellow Polyps are native to Indonesia. It s beautiful, hardy, and affordable, giving the owner a lot of coral for the money. Yellow Polyps are colonial, and will reproduce by budding. Yellow polyps are wonderful for beginners and will easily spread in good water conditions. Most of their nutrition is obtained photo synthetically by the symbiotic Zooxanthellic algae housed in their bodies, but supplements of brine shrimp and/or microplankton should be offered to each colony along with Iodine and other trace elements. The polyps will immediately react to a meal of brine or mysis shrimp being blown over them. CARE LEVEL: Easy TEMPERAMENT: Peaceful TEMPERATURE:74 to 82 pH:8.1 to 8.4 PLACEMENT: Middle LIGHTING: Medium WATER FLOW: Medium
The Yellow Gorgonian is a very common variety of Gorgonia that is found in the Caribbean. It's also referred to as the Sea Rod and the Orange Finger. The Yellow Gorgonian is the hardiest sea fan available to the marine aquarist. When the fan becomes comfortable in its environment, white polyps will bloom at the ends of its branches to trap plankton. This sea fan should be placed in an area of high water flow to prevent growth of unwanted algae which will kill the coral. Feedings of prepared coral invert food should be offered a few times each week to ensure proper nutrition. The drip acclimation method is suggested for acclimation to the tank. Be careful to not expose this coral to air. The Yellow Gorgonian is peaceful, but needs to be placed where it can not be reached by other aggressive corals. CARE LEVEL: Challenging TEMPERAMENT: Peaceful TEMPERATURE:74 to 82 pH:8.1 to 8.4 PLACEMENT: All LIGHTING: High WATER FLOW: Medium
Torch Coral The Torch Coral is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral with its polyps visible throughout the day and night. Because of it's unusual appearance and the beige to brown color variation, it makes a great addition to an aquarium. This species also seems to glow under actinic lighting. Ensure the Torch Coral has ample space from other corals as it's tentacles can extend up to six inches to sting them. This coral benefits from the addition of trace elements, strontium, calcium and iodine.

Tooth Coral (aka Galaxea Coral) The Tooth Coral, or Galaxea Coral is commonly found in the green color form. It can be found in a variety of colors as well. As this species is aggressive, adequate space should be given between itself and its tankmates. The name Galaxea is derived from the Greek word galaxaios meaning milky, which adequately describes the tips of its polyps.

Toadstool Leather Coral (aka Mushroom Coral, or Trough Coral) Toadstool Leather Corals, also known as Mushroom or Trough Corals, have the shape of a mushroom, with an easily identifiable shape of a cap and a stalk. With age, the Toadstool Leather Corals lose this shape and end up with a more folded appearance. Usually peaceful, this species needs adequate room to avoid harm to tankmates and itself. Additives such as trace elements and iodine are needed for sustained health. Cultivation is possible by cutting a small portion of the cap and attaching the removed piece to a sandy bottom or to a rock. Does well with supplemental feedings such as brine shrimp and micro-plankton.
Stylophora Coral The Stylophora Coral is one of the most adaptable corals available. It can survive in a multitude of lighting intensities as well as a variety of water flow patterns. However, this Small Polyp Stony (SPS) Coral does best in bright lighting and strong water flow, which intensifies the color and health of this Coral.
