A vibrant and sought-after variety of trumpet coral distinguished by its striking blue coloration, particularly around the mouth of each polyp, this marine invertebrate adds a unique aesthetic to reef aquariums. Its tubular skeletal structure, resembling its namesake confectionery, houses individual polyps that extend to capture food particles from the water column.
The appeal of these corals lies in their visual impact and relative ease of care, making them popular additions to both novice and experienced reef keepers’ tanks. They contribute to the biodiversity of a captive reef environment and, under appropriate conditions, can thrive and propagate, expanding the living structure within the aquarium. Their existence and propagation in captivity also reduce pressure on wild populations.
