Firestorm Cyphastrea F2

Firestorm Cyphastrea is an example of a beautiful encrusting coral. They have a bold, deep red colour. Its surface is carpeted by large polyps with short tentacles. As a result, Firestorm Cyphastrea strongly resemble flowers on a lawn. Cyphastrea are resilient corals, making it one of the easier hard corals to look after. They do not need much light, despite them hosting photosynthetic algae. These corals require the current to be strong enough to prevent smothering. They feed off small foods, such as amino acids and zooplankton.
