Bubble Coral (Plerogyra)
Lighting Requirements: Moderate
Water Flow: Low to Medium
Care Level: Moderate
Placement: Middle to Lower Levels
Temperament: Aggressive
Bubble Coral is a striking, LPS coral known for its large, fleshy, bubble-like polyps that can inflate to give it a unique, “puffed up” appearance. Its tentacles are round and translucent, often with hints of green, brown, or purple, making it a visually captivating addition to any reef tank. This coral’s distinctive shape and size allow it to stand out, especially when fully extended and pulsing with water flow.
Bubble Coral thrives under moderate lighting and prefers low to medium water movement to keep its polyps fully extended and healthy. While it relies on photosynthesis through its symbiotic zooxanthellae, it will also benefit from occasional feedings of plankton or coral foods to encourage growth and vibrant coloration.
Despite its soft appearance, Bubble Coral is considered an aggressive species. Its long, stinging tentacles can harm or sting nearby corals, so it should be placed with adequate space to prevent conflicts with other tank inhabitants.

How We Photograph Our Corals
- Every WYSIWYG photo is taken in our systems with consistent lighting and a custom white balance.
- Our goal is simple: show the coral as it looks in a properly lit reef — not overly edited or exaggerated.
Our Camera + Lens
- Camera: Sony a7 IV R (mirrorless)
- Lens: Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS
- Macro glass lets us capture fine details like texture, polyp extension, and subtle color shifts without getting too close.
Lighting We Shoot Under
- Primary: EcoTech Radion XR30 Blue
- Supplement: ReefBrite XHO

100% Violet
100% UV
100% Deep Blue

Color Accuracy
- We use a custom white balance so the photo matches what you’ll see under a clean, blue-leaning reef spectrum.
- Corals can look different tank-to-tank based on nutrients, spectrum, and flow — but we aim for honest, repeatable photos you can trust.
