Cyphastrea sp. "Industrial"

Cyphastrea sp. "Industrial" – LPS coral with intense color contrast

Characteristics:

• Type: Cyphastrea sp. (LPS stony coral)

• Variant: Industrial

• Color: Rich violet to purple with contrasting, orange to red luminous polyps – appears especially vibrant under blue light

• Structure: Encrusting, fine-pored growth habit that uniformly covers rock and structures

• Light requirement: Low to medium – ideal for shady areas or medium positions in the aquarium

• Flow: Light to moderate – gentle flow supports health and polyp opening

Care instructions:
The Cyphastrea "Industrial" is a robust, easy-to-care-for LPS coral that retains its colors even with less intense lighting. It prefers stable water parameters, a consistent flow, and nutrient-poor but not sterile conditions. Due to its encrusting tissue, it is excellent for covering reef structures or back walls. Too strong lighting can lighten the violet hues – a medium to lower placement is therefore ideal.

Special features:

• Striking contrast of violet tissue and orange-red polyps – modern, industrial color scheme

• Easy to care for and color-stable, even in less brightly lit areas

• Ideal for covering surfaces or accent zones in reef aquascaping

• Perfect addition to vibrantly colored corals such as Montipora or Zoanthus
