🌿 Sustainably Aquacultured Live Saltwater Coral – Zero Wild Collection
Welcome to coralSLover, a family-owned reef aquaculture farm based in Upstate New York — proudly providing 100% legally aquaculture coral frags and colony’s to reefers across the U.S.
We are a licensed facility holding a valid Marine Hatchery Permit issued by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). All coral sold is propagated in our indoor, shore-based, closed saltwater systems and meets U.S. legal standards for marine ornamental aquaculture.
🌊 We don’t collect corals from the wild. Each coral frag is adopted, and propagated in-our farm from tank-raised, long-established colonies — many thriving with us since 2010. We’re committed to growing the reefing hobby responsibly by protecting wild ecosystems and promoting ethical marine aquaculture.
✅ Our Corals is:
• Fully healed and pest-free
• Carefully clipped from vibrant parent colonies
• Adapted to tank life for better survivability
• Grown under optimal reef lighting and flow
Our corals are available in a wide range of stunning species including:
Mushrooms |  Softies |  Zoanthids |  LPS |  SPS
Whether you’re just getting started or collecting rare pieces, we’ll hand-select corals tailored to your reef tank’s lighting, flow, and experience level.
 
Meteor Shower Cyphastrea – 100% Aquacultured | Frag Size: 1.5”+
The Meteor Shower Cyphastrea is a show-stopping encrusting coral with a brilliant blue base and intensely bright orange polyps. Under actinic lighting, this coral absolutely glows with fluorescence, bringing a stunning burst of color to any reef tank—especially in the shadowy corners where most corals fade into the background.
Grown entirely in our controlled indoor aquaculture systems at coralSLover, each frag starts as a tiny, healthy seed fragment and is never cut directly from wild colonies. This ensures that you receive a stable, tank-acclimated coral that thrives long-term in home aquariums.
 
Important:
Each frag is 1.5”+ and 100% aquacultured from a tiny, hand-selected starter piece in our fully controlled, indoor recirculating systems. We never chop wild colonies or sell freshly cut ocean corals. Instead, we cultivate every piece with patience and precision over time.
When you receive your frag 1.5"+, you'll notice its thin, shallow profile—a clear sign of true aquaculture. This is not a wild-harvested chunk, but a coral grown from scratch, layer by layer. As it matures, it will gain dramatic mass and depth, transforming into a bold, sculptural colony. This growth pattern is especially vivid in Bizarro Cyphastrea, making each frag a living canvas that evolves and stuns with time.
We don’t take corals from the ocean and slice them for fast sales—ever. What we sell is a responsibly grown, thriving coral—a piece of reef art with a future.
🌿 Ideal for Low-Light, Low-Flow Zones
Cyphastrea corals are extremely light-sensitive. If there’s one coral that should not be placed under intense lighting from the start, it’s this one. We strongly recommend starting them under <100 PAR lighting. High light can cause bleaching or stress, so always acclimate very slowly and watch for early signs of polyp retraction or fading.
When in doubt, lower light is better—they fluoresce more vividly and grow more steadily in shaded or dimly lit sections of your reef tank.
💨 Flow & Placement
Meteor Shower Cyphastrea prefer moderate, indirect flow. Strong direct currents can cause tissue retraction, while too little flow can allow detritus to collect, which can smother the coral over time. As they grow into layered encrusting mats, make sure to adjust water movement occasionally to keep their surfaces clean.
🧬 Feeding
Though they host photosynthetic zooxanthellae for nutrition, supplemental feeding can enhance color and growth. We recommend feeding once or twice per week with Oyster-Feast, finely chopped mysis, or small particulate foods.
This aquacultured frag measures 1.5” or larger, ready to establish itself as a long-term highlight of your reef system. Perfect for beginners and collectors alike, the Meteor Shower Cyphastrea brings vibrant energy and dependable growth to any setup.
