Stylophora Coral is a vibrant SPS coral known for its fast growth and unique branching structure. Its polyps are small, yet its branches form dense, bushy colonies that come in a range of colors, including greens, purples, and browns. Stylophora is popular for its ability to thrive in various tank conditions while adding a striking and dynamic look to a reef aquarium.

Stylophora requires moderate to high lighting and medium to high water flow to ensure optimal health and to keep its polyps extended. It relies primarily on photosynthesis through its symbiotic zooxanthellae, but it can also benefit from occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods, especially in nutrient-poor tanks.

This coral is peaceful and can be placed near other non-aggressive SPS species without issue. However, it’s important to provide enough space for it to grow, as it can spread rapidly and may compete with other corals for space.
