Stylophora Care Tips

Stylophora are a branching small polyp stony coral from the Family Pocilloporidae. They make a great addition to either a mixed stony coral reef or an SPS dominated reef. We keep Stylophora mainly in both medium light and medium water flow. Having said that, their overall growth and color might benefit from both stronger light and flow than they are receiving here. With all SPS, you will want to regularly test calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium because those are the three elements that are most important to fast growing stony corals. A tiny bit of nitrate and phosphate are acceptable but high levels of either may stop their growth or cause a crash entirely so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on those parameters as well. Lastly, we do not go out of our way to feed these corals although they regularly get a spray of cloudy supernate from the frozen food blend we use.
