  Special Requirements and Information:
Plerogyra "bubble" corals are a fascinating addition to your tank. The ease of maintenance, ease of positioning and the rapid growth. They feed easily on microalgae, rotifers, zooplankton and any of the other small livestock in the water column. Watch them swell during feeding and the long tentacles search for corals to attack. Placing bubble corals too close to the flow source can injure their bodies. Keep them in the middle of the tank if you have a high energy light source like metal halide.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Consider feeding them directly with a turkey baster directly into the bubble areas. Be very careful when moving to prevent tearing the bubbles. This can lead to the animal's death.
Can be VERY aggressive towards sensitive neighbors, so consider that in your placement.
