Stylophora Coral

Stylophora, Stylophora sp. , grow in stalks with enlarged ends. Because of its appearance, it is known as Cat's Paw, Club, or Elk Horn Coral. Most commonly seen colorations include brown, green, and pink. It is a coral that requires perfect conditions including high lighting levels and high water flow. With proper water conditions, which include carefully monitored calcium levels and the addition of strontium, Stylophora can do fine in the home aquarium. As with some other Polyped Corals, its sweeper tentacles will reach out at night and may damage other corals placed too closely. Stylophora will benefit from feedings of any supplement designed for filter feeders. Iodine and strontium will help ensure its continued health.
