Cyphastrea has always been my favorite, finally got a branching variety years ago and a freak heater malfunction killed it shortly after. Can’t wait to get my hands on another one!
Thanks you so much sir... Sharing fantastic video and corrals tips... It's been 3 years I watch all your videos inside TH-cam channel... . I stills having trouble my saltwater aquarium..Thanks again sir...
We have three cyphastrea corals in our tank. Purple, Green, and Blue. Purple likes direct light, blue likes indirect light (high up in the tank but off to the side of a light), and green likes low light. Funny how they have such different needs.
I use soda lime reactor with skimmer to stop the co2 being smashed into tank water I don't have to buff dkh as much if my ph is ok and need to buff dkh I use sodium carbonate if my ph is low but dkh is ok I change the soda lime granuals normally they turn blue I been reefing for 25 years this is my most stable set up oh I use tropic Marin reef pro I allso started using aquaforest np pro and probiotic s sweet
I have the decadia branch pale blue but the polips don't petrude but it is skinning over the base and that part is an aqua green with red polips don't know y
This coral is weird for me some do well while others just die on me no matter where i put them in the tank. Everything else does great for me except this lol
You think this coral would do good with a us marine current led light? I haven’t had success with any other sps, but you say these don’t like strong light
My alkalinity drops from around 8.4 to 7.8 worst 7.5 every 5-7 days in my 40 gallon , using Red Sea coral pro brings up the alk to 8.4 doing a 5 gallon water change weekly but dipping that much in alk weekly ,will that stress out the corals since it’s going back up from around 7.8 back to 8.4ish doing a water change ? I am asking because I was given a fender bender cyphasteria , and wanted to make sure the dip in alk and raising by thag much with a water change won’t bother it ,as I mostly have softies and a few lps as well.
Haha I got mine 1.5 month ago... Stuggle like crazy.. polyps never got out.. 2 week Ago it start to grow like crazy.. and this week.. he's just dying... Loll
Your photography is by all means the best on the net. Great vid
I couldn’t agree more.
Thank you for introducing the link between Ph and Calcium / Magnesium! Very helpful for me as a new reefer, much appreciated!
I have just recently discovered your channel. Beyond impressed by your high level of excellence in everything you do.
Thank you very much. Welcome.
This is one of my favorite corals And I learned something today. I never new there was a plating variety. Thanks for the info.
I didn’t know there were branching forms!, that’s awesome!

One of my favorite corals.
This coral has really grown on me, went from one to 3 in my tank! Didnt know they would soak up Cal as much though, learned something new.
I like Cyphastrea because they are basically LPS in SPS encrusting form, what I mean is they "EAT" like LPS.
Great video and chemistry lesson. You always have the best coverage of coral spotlights. Thanks!
I just wanna say thank you for all the corals u cover Man U helped me so much ur the only channel I come to how
Thanks you so much sir... Sharing fantastic video and corrals tips... It's been 3 years I watch all your videos inside TH-cam channel... . I stills having trouble my saltwater aquarium..Thanks again sir...
I wish these were more readily available in Europe, would love to have one.
I was looking at the old cyphastrea video last night. Thanks
Wow just learned this coral is in the same family as my merulina ampliata coral. Great video!
I jist got a branching pink and red one still learning about this one
I don't think I've seen a branching variety that surprised me. Great video again!
Have been thinking about picking one of these up but didnt have enough info so i really appreciate this video.
Thank You. Sure have come a long ways. And so much ahead. Wow.
Thank you
Got a free meteor shower from you guys just before Christmas.. it’s my first cyphastrea and so far it’s doing great in low light! :D
Very difficult to find the branching meteor shower variant, that's quite impressive to see in such high resolution, thanks for the video.
Thanks for all the amazing coral care videos. The videography/photography is stunning!
👍 Always great to see that notification pop up

Noob question. What does “rainbow” mean when used to describe coral.
I've been in the game several years and I don't know...... I'm in it for the brown. I like brown.
You think this coral would do good with a us marine current led light? I haven’t had success with any other sps, but you say these don’t like strong light

LOL... guess I've been mispronouncing the name all this time. Nice video.
I tried one but it just didn't do well as soon as i got it, and I tried in low lighting. :/
Haha I got mine 1.5 month ago... Stuggle like crazy.. polyps never got out.. 2 week Ago it start to grow like crazy.. and this week.. he's just dying... Loll
Omg
Than....I have a meteor shower in 300 par and it's been growing good for a year. Polyps are not out wide and it looks almost like an encrusting monti.
