Keeping & care for Cyphastrea
Cyphastrea is uncomplicated if you pay attention to a few basics:
Light requirement
- Very low - Cyphastrea loves shady spots in the tank.
- Ideal for shelters, shady reef sections or back walls.
- Despite low light: The colors remain strong and rich in contrast!
- Exception: Cyphastrea decadia can certainly tolerate moderate light conditions
Flow
- Medium to gentle - the main thing is no sediment deposits!
- The thin tissue reacts sensitively to sediment - so blow it free, e.g. regularly with the flow pump or a gentle jet of water.
Placement
- Ideal, for example, between large branching SPS colonies - Cyphastrea does not disturb anyone and looks good in the spaces between them.
- It feels at home on vertical surfaces, back walls or rock arches.
Color morphs & growth
Whether turquoise with orange polyps, neon green or wildly speckled - Cyphastrea comes in impressive varieties. And the best thing is that the colors are retained even in low light!
Their flat growth makes them ideal for closing gaps or creating specific structures in the tank.
