Plerogyra sinuosa (Splotched)

Plerogyra sinuosa, commonly known as the Bubble Coral, is a distinctive LPS coral recognized for its large, bubble-like vesicles that inflate during the day and retract at night to reveal feeding tentacles. Its translucent bubbles can appear in shades of green, cream, or pearl, creating a soft, flowing appearance that adds unique texture to reef aquariums. This coral is relatively hardy but requires careful placement to prevent damage to its delicate tissue.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Flow: Gentle, indirect; avoid strong currents
• Placement: Lower rockwork or sheltered areas; protect from sharp rocks and aggressive neighbors
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional meaty foods such as mysis, brine shrimp, or finely chopped seafood
