Common names: #pagodacupcoral, turban coral, vase coral Difficulty Level: #Turbinaria are generally very tolerant to most conditions. Feeding: These #corals have very good prey capture ability with their medium sized, quick moving polyps. Meaty foods of most sizes are acceptable food for them. Lighting (Level 4 to 8): Turbinaria will thrive in a wide range of lighting. As with most #hardcorals, bleaching is a concern, so always acclimate by starting them lower in the tank and slowly move them up to your desired location. Water flow: Higher flow should be provided to keep the horizontal flat surfaces of these corals clean. Placement: Turbinaria are not overly aggressive corals. They may be placed on their side in some cases to keep debris from being caught in the cup. Lower light will yield a flatter cup; higher light will yield a more closed cup https://captivecoral.net/portfolio/turbinaria/ #LPScoral #reeftanks #reefmacro #underwaterphotography #macronature #coralreefs #reefscape #nanoaquarium https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRwz6dBJRg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qoqxqhy39zm
