Meteor Shower Cyphastrea

Meteor Shower Cyphastrea is a eye catching large polyp stony (LPS) coral! With it's odd mixture of a bluey purple blending with greens in the  skin, accompanied by some stunningly bright orange polyps which make them literally pop out in the reef! Meteor Shower is a encrusting species of Cyphastrea and will generally spread out and cover any free rock space around where it's placed.

Cyphastreas mostly do best in dimly lite or shaded areas (such as caves or over hangs from rocks). Our Meteor Shower are from high lit areas of the farm, as we find that's where this particular species of Cyphastrea does best to bring out the best of its colours.

Cyphastrea likes stability in their environments, so will benefit from the stable levels of Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium along with various other trace elements found within the oceans.

Cyphastrea don't require direct feedings from coral foods, though may take if offered.

Locally sourced from a sustainable coral farm and picture shown is provided by the supplier (frags may differ to image shown).
