Bubble Coral

[Doug]

The one pictured in my avatar was around 10 yrs. old when it died from an infection. However I believe it was due to an alkalinity problem, which is another story.

It loved intense light, from my 250w 65k Iwasaki, [plus window sunlight], in my 70g cube to its last home in my 225g with 400w Radiums. It was close to 2 ft. sq. when open in all its glory. My mated Blue Striped Cinnamon clowns called it home.

For current, I always found it liked enough to move the bubbles but not enough to distort their shape. I usually fed it some type of shrimps like mysis or before that the larger krill types. It also ate anything it could catch floating pass, including a chromis once.

Best to feed them in the evening light, when there light catching bubbles are mostly gone and all their feeding catchers are out waving around.
