This WYSIWYG frag displays a vivid red to strawberry-red base covered with bright yellow to yellow-green corallites, creating strong color contrast under reef aquarium lighting. \u003cem\u003eCyphastrea\u003c\/em\u003e typically spreads outward across surrounding rockwork as it grows and can eventually form broad encrusting colonies. Its compact growth habit and tolerance for moderate lighting make it useful for adding color to lower or mid-level areas of the reef. Because species-level identification cannot be confirmed reliably from a photograph alone, \u003cem\u003eCyphastrea\u003c\/em\u003e sp. is the most scientifically appropriate designation for this specimen.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCyphastrea\u003c\/em\u003e sp. generally prefers low to moderate reef lighting with moderate, indirect water flow. Many Cyphastrea corals maintain strong coloration under relatively modest light, and gradual acclimation is recommended when introducing them to brighter conditions. Water movement should be sufficient to prevent detritus from settling on the colony without directly blasting the tissue. Place on stable lower to mid-level rockwork with room for outward encrusting growth. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, nitrate, and phosphate. Cyphastrea is primarily photosynthetic but may also benefit from fine suspended plankton and particulate coral foods. Consistent water chemistry and stable reef conditions help support healthy tissue growth, coloration, and continued encrustation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895810883817,"sku":"U25 S1731","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/strawberry-cyphastrea-lps-under-25-pea-F-S1731.jpg?v=1789706800","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/strawberry-cyphastrea-under-25-pea-f-s1731","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
