Care instructions:
The Catalaphyllia jardinei is a delicate, yet very attractive LPS coral under suitable conditions. It prefers stable water parameters, nutrient-poor but not sterile water, and a gentle current. The coral should be placed on the substrate or in protected areas to avoid injury to the polyps. Occasional feeding with fine to medium frozen food (e.g., Mysis or Artemia) supports its health and growth.
