Description

Sun Coral, known scientifically as Tubastraea, is a non-photosynthetic coral that is admired for its vibrant orange and yellow polyps. Unlike many corals, Sun Coral does not rely on light for photosynthesis and instead captures plankton and other small particles from the water. This coral is often found in shaded areas of the reef and requires regular feeding to thrive in an aquarium setting. It is a popular choice for advanced aquarists due to its unique appearance and feeding needs.
