Cyphastrea corals are a unique and hardy addition to reef tanks, known for their encrusting or plating growth patterns and delicate, star-shaped polyps. These Small Polyp Stony (SPS) corals are available in a wide range of vibrant colors and intricate patterns, making them a popular choice for hobbyists who want to add texture and subtle beauty to their aquascapes.

Unlike many SPS corals, Cyphastrea are relatively forgiving and can adapt to a variety of tank conditions, making them suitable for both beginner and advanced reef keepers. Their ability to thrive in low light and lower flow areas makes them versatile and easy to place within a reef tank setup.

Cyphastrea corals are more tolerant of parameter fluctuations compared to other SPS corals, making them an excellent choice for reef tanks that may experience minor inconsistencies. However, stable water conditions are always recommended for optimal growth and coloration:

Calcium: 380-450 ppm

Alkalinity: 8-9.5 dKH

Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm

Nitrates: 5-15 ppm

Phosphates: <0.10 ppm

Temperature: 75-80°F

Salinity: 1.024-1.026

Cyphastrea corals thrive in nutrient-rich systems and can handle slightly elevated nutrient levels better than some other SPS corals. Regular testing and minor adjustments will ensure these encrusting corals remain healthy and colorful in your reef tank.
