Information
Stylophora are a branching small polyp stony coral (SPS) from the Family Pocilloporidae. It is commonly referred to as a Cat’s Paw Coral. They are less commonly seen than most other SPS for sale however they make a great addition to any high light, high flow reef system.
Lighting
Medium to High lighting tends to bring out the best coloration in Stylophora. They only showed their best coloration when we placed them under intense LED’s.
Water Flow
Strong water movement is recommended. Stylophora are commonly found in the wild in very strong surge zones. As the colony grows, it is important for them to receive plenty of flow to make it into the center part of the coral that might otherwise stagnate.
Feeding
We try to feed most of our corals even when it is not obvious that they are eating. We like to use the cloudy supernate that forms after thawing out frozen food and using a turkey baster to spray it on the Stylophora colonies.
Warning and Handling
This coral is very friendy to other corals and most of the time will die off when touch other coral.
