WWC Skittles Bomb Cyphastrea Coral

WWC Skittles Bomb Cyphastrea Coral

Species: Cyphastrea spp.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Encrusting Coral

WWC Skittles Bomb Cyphastrea Coral is a colorful and distinctive encrusting coral prized for its vibrant coloration and densely textured growth pattern. Its small, closely spaced corallites create a finely detailed surface as the colony spreads across surrounding rockwork. Under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting, its contrasting colors and fluorescent pigments become especially vivid, creating a bright and eye-catching display that adds unique color and texture to the reef aquarium.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Cyphastrea
Lighting: Low to Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 30–100 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement helps keep the colony clean and free of debris while supporting healthy growth
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods may support growth, coloration, and overall health
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally not highly aggressive, but adequate spacing should be maintained as the colony encrusts and expands across surrounding rockwork
Placement: Best placed on lower to mid-level rockwork where it can receive lower-intensity lighting and gentle, indirect flow. Provide sufficient space for the colony to encrust and spread as it grows.

We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of cross-contamination between systems, meaning all of our livestock are carefully quarantined and prepared for your display tank.
