Coral Spotlight | Hydnophora

mikejrice · 11/24/2018, 02:28 AM

Common Names: Knob coral, velvet horn, branch coral

Difficulty Level: Hydnophora is one of the easier SPS corals with minimal chemical needs other than stability and higher light.

Feeding: Hydno will eat small particulate meat based foods such as rotifers or cyclopeze.

Lighting: Higher lighting is a must as with most SPS corals.

Waterflow: Strong random current will suite hydnophora in keeping its flesh clear of detritus and other debris.

Placement: Hydno is an aggressive SPS coral, so keep it away from other more sensitive species.

General: Hydnophora comes in many different growth forms, but with the same super-fluorescent coloration on most, they are easy to pick out

This coral always grew like a weed for me. Actually, it was about invasive. You can use it as round up in a tank. Kills everything dead!

Lol, mine was the only sps that survived my tank crash.

Buyer beware, it is invasive and aggressive!
