Cyphastrea sp. "Meteor Shower"

Cyphastrea sp. "Meteor Shower" - LPS coral with luminous polyp pattern

Characteristics:

• Type: Cyphastrea sp. (LPS stony coral)

• Variant: Meteor Shower

• Color: Luminous turquoise-blue base with contrasting, orange to red glowing polyps – particularly impressive under blue light

• Structure: Finely structured, encrusting growth form that evenly covers rock and back walls

• Light requirement: Low to medium – vibrant colors even with less intense lighting

• Flow: Light to moderate – gentle flow supports tissue respiration and growth

Care instructions:
The Cyphastrea "Meteor Shower" is a robust and easy-to-care-for LPS coral, ideal even for beginners. It prefers stable water parameters and moderate lighting. Thanks to its encrusting tissue, it is excellent for designing reef structures, back walls, or open areas. Too much light can lighten the colors; a medium to low position in the tank is therefore ideal.

Special features:

• Striking contrast of turquoise-blue tissue and orange-red polyps – like a "meteor shower" in the reef

• Easy to care for and robust – perfect for mixed tanks

• Encrusting growth, ideal for surface design or accentuating reef structures

• Intense colors even with moderate lighting
