Are you looking to add a beautiful and low-maintenance coral to your saltwater aquarium? Consider the Turbinaria coral, also known as the Pagoda Cup Coral, Turban Coral, or Vase Coral. This versatile coral species is highly tolerant to various conditions, making it an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. With its medium-sized, quick-moving polyps, the Turbinaria coral boasts excellent prey capture ability, happily devouring meaty foods of different sizes.

One of the standout features of Turbinaria corals is their adaptability to a wide range of lighting levels, thriving under intensities ranging from Level 4 to 8. To prevent bleaching, it's important to acclimate these corals gradually by starting them at a lower position in the tank and slowly moving them up. With higher water flow, you can keep the flat surfaces of these corals clean, ensuring their optimal health and appearance. Whether you choose to place them on their side to prevent debris from getting trapped or experiment with different lighting intensities to shape their cup structure, Turbinaria corals are sure to add a captivating touch to your aquarium. Plus, with their daytime feeding habits, these corals provide a delightful spectacle as they extend their polyps to capture prey.
