Classification: Premium Large Polyp Stony (LPS) Coral
Scientific Name:Plerogyra sinuosa
Common Name: Bubble Green Ultra, Ultra Green Bubble Coral
The Bubble Green Ultra is a visually striking LPS coral named for its signature grape-sized “bubbles” — soft, water-filled vesicles that expand and contract throughout the day. These bubbles serve as specialized light-capturing structures, inflating under daytime lighting to maximize photosynthesis and shrinking at night when the coral extends its feeding tentacles.
This Ultra Green morph showcases bright jade-green to emerald-green vesicles, sometimes with subtle teal or icy tones depending on lighting. Under blue or actinic LEDs, the bubbles fluoresce intensely, creating a glowing, cloud-like appearance that stands out boldly against the rockwork.
During the day, the coral inflates into a cascading dome of shimmering green bubbles; at night, the vesicles retract to reveal delicate translucent tentacles used for capturing plankton. This rhythmic expansion and contraction make Bubble Green Ultra one of the most dynamic and eye-catching corals in any reef aquarium.
Genus:Plerogyra
Species:Plerogyra sinuosa
Family: Euphylliidae
Growth Form: Bubble-form LPS with grape-sized vesicles
Symbiosis: Contains Symbiodiniaceae (zooxanthellae)
Lighting Behavior:
Bubbles enlarge under daytime/actinic light
Vesicles shrink at night, exposing tentacles
Defense: Sweeper tentacles can extend 2–3 inches
Vesicles: Emerald green, jade green, or blue-green fluorescence
Base: Cream to pale white when bubbles retract
Lighting Response: Brilliant fluorescence under actinic or blue LED spectrum
Lighting: Low–moderate; avoid high-PAR zones
Flow: Low to moderate, indirect; strong flow may damage bubbles
Placement: Lower rockwork or sandbed; ensure space for sweeper tentacles
Feeding: Benefits from mysis shrimp, plankton, reef roids, and marine snow
Aggression: Moderate; should not be placed close to delicate corals
Bubble Green Ultra grows by forming new vesicles along its fleshy tissue and expanding into dome-like shapes. When healthy, the bubbles sway gently in the current, producing a shimmering, almost holographic effect. Its vivid green tones pair beautifully with purple hammers, blue discosomas, and orange zoanthids.
Reef keepers seeking a vivid, glowing, motion-rich LPS coral that provides dramatic color, mesmerizing movement, and high visual impact.
