Turbinaria reniformis - Cup and Plate Coral S Frag

Turbinaria reniformis – Cup and Plate Coral (LPS/SPS Hybrid)

Characteristics:

• Species: Turbinaria reniformis (stony coral)

• Variant: Standard / Yellow-green (color adaptable)

• Color: Typically in shades of yellow, green, or olive; polyps often brighter with high contrast

• Structure: Characteristic cup, plate, or bowl-shaped growth form with densely packed, small polyps

• Light requirement: Medium to high – more intense colors with stronger lighting

• Flow: Medium to strong – constant, turbulent flow for tissue respiration and healthy growth

Care instructions:
Turbinaria reniformis is a robust, fast-growing coral that thrives excellently in both SPS and LPS-dominated tanks. It requires stable water parameters and prefers plenty of light as well as a well-distributed, moderate to strong flow. Due to its cup-shaped growth, it should be given enough space upwards to avoid shading. The coral is relatively tolerant, but shows the most beautiful colors in nutrient-poor, but not sterile, conditions.

Special features:

• Distinctive, cup-shaped growth form – ideal as a focal point in the upper to middle reef area

• Easy to care for and robust, suitable even for advanced beginners

• Fast growth under good conditions

• Perfect addition for reef structures with vertical design or plateaus
