Tubipora Snow Day – organ pipe coral with fine polyps and a delicate tubular skeleton.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 548. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Light: moderate, with gradual acclimation to the new site. Flow: even and indirect to keep debris from collecting between the tubes.
Secure on a stable base without squeezing the fine tubes.
Supported by light; supplement sparingly with fine coral food if needed.
Check the tubular structure for debris and algae. Despite its rigid skeleton, Tubipora belongs to the soft corals.
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.
