Caulastraea curvata (Green)

Caulastraea (Candy Cane / Trumpet Coral) is a hardy and fast-growing LPS coral known for its clustered, trumpet-shaped heads and bright coloration—typically greens, teals, and blues, often with contrasting centers. Each head develops a fleshy polyp that expands over a sturdy branching skeleton, making the coral both durable and easy to frag.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Water Flow: Gentle to moderate
• Placement: Sandbed or lower rockwork; leave space for growth
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional meaty foods (mysis, LPS pellets)
