How to Care for Bubble Coral

Bubble corals are striking and rewarding additions to any reef tank. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Lighting: Moderate to low light is best to prevent bleaching.

  • Water Flow: Low to moderate flow; strong currents can damage their delicate bubbles.

  • Placement: Place them on stable rock or substrate with enough space to expand without touching other corals.

  • Water Quality: Maintain stable parameters — temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.023–1.025, low nitrates and phosphates.

  • Feeding: They can catch small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or brine shrimp during the night, but mostly rely on photosynthesis.

  • Handling: Be gentle; their bubbles are fragile and can deflate if stressed but will usually recover.

With proper care, bubble corals can thrive and add unique texture to your reef aquarium.
