Description
Cyphastrea Rainbow Madness – Cyphastrea stony coral with small, closely spaced polyps.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 171. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Size stated in the offer: 3x3 cm.
Light and flow
Light: low; start in a sheltered position and increase lighting only gradually. Flow: moderate and indirect to prevent deposits on the surface.
Placement in your reef
Place on secure rock with clear space for further growth.
Feeding and ongoing care
Supported by light; supplement sparingly with suitable fine coral food.
Watch growing edges and prevent contact with neighbouring corals. If tissue pales, check light intensity and nutrient availability rather than increasing light.
Keep water conditions stable
As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
For a consistent testing routine, see our reef water testing guide.
