  Special Requirements and Information:
A reasonably rare coral and a fascinating addition to your aquarium. As with most encrusting corals, the superficialis is an easy coral to care for. The more power in your light source, the more dramatic the colors. Very often, the tentacles will have a differing color from the polyps.
They will grow at a reasonable pace given the proper conditions. Feeding should be light during the day with the full feeding at night. Feed plenty of phytoplankton and add calcium, magnesium and strontium as supplements. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms.
Very sensitive to water conditions.
