July 13, 2023Colony Polyp, Orange/Green
The Orange/Green Colony Polyp is a stunning addition to any reef aquarium, with its vibrant and contrasting colors. The polyps have a bright orange center, surrounded by green tentacles that create a captivating visual display. As a colonial coral, the Orange/Green Colony Polyp has the ability to spread and form a beautiful living carpet over rocks and other surfaces. While these polyps are not particularly aggressive, they can still sting other corals or polyps. It is important to give them enough space to prevent overcrowding and to maintain good water quality. The Orange/Green Colony Polyp is relatively easy to care for and is suitable for both beginner and experienced reef keepers. They prefer moderate lighting and water flow, and will benefit from regular supplementation of trace elements and iodine. The Orange/Green Colony Polyp will readily reproduce in the aquarium, forming new polyps through budding. This means that over time, a small colony can grow to cover a significant area. These polyps contain zooxanthellae, a symbiotic algae that provides them with the majority of their nutritional needs. However, if the lighting is not optimal, they may also benefit from supplemental feedings of micro-plankton or baby brine shrimp.

Australian Doughnut Coral
Call for PriceThe Australian Doughnut Coral (Acanthophyllia deshayesiana) is a large polyp stony coral native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Great Barrier Reef. It is named for its circular shape and often brightly colored fleshy tissue. The coral has a distinctive appearance due to its large corallites (the skeletal cups that house the polyps) which are separated by pronounced walls. The coral’s polyps extend during the day to feed on zooplankton and retract at night. The Australian Doughnut Coral is relatively hardy and can thrive in a range of lighting and flow conditions, making it a popular choice for reef aquaria. However, it can be sensitive to high levels of nitrates and phosphates, and requires calcium and alkalinity supplementation for optimal growth.
