  Special Requirements and Information:
A wonderful coral combination. Porities are an exceptional branching coral and this Cyphastrea appears to have wrapped itself around the live rock. Begin away from your light source until they've acclimated and then move them to where they can gather the most light available.
While the addition of coral calcium will stimulate polyp extension, Porities require biomass feedings and can't rely solely on supplements for proper health. Feed anytime during the day. They are preferential to zooplankton, marine algae and other minute bio foods.
