Yellow Tube Coral, scientifically known as Tubastrea aurea, is a large polyp stony coral species native to the Indo-Pacific region. As its name suggests, it has a tube-like structure with numerous polyps protruding from it. The yellow coloration of this coral species is due to the presence of symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae that live within its tissues. The Yellow Tube Coral is a hardy and relatively easy-to-care-for species that prefers low to moderate lighting and moderate water flow. It can be fed with small pieces of meaty foods, such as krill or brine shrimp, a few times per week.

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.
