Tubastraea sp.
Vivid orange non-photosynthetic coral. Grown entirely through feeding. Stunning full polyp extension at night.
Sun coral (genus Tubastraea, family Dendrophylliidae) is an azooxanthellate cup coral containing no symbiotic algae and therefore deriving all nutrition from active predation rather than photosynthesis. Its brilliant orange, yellow, or black polyps open like flowers to capture plankton, making it one of the most visually striking corals for shaded tank positions where photosynthetic corals cannot thrive. Native to reef walls and slopes of the Indo-Pacific, it often colonizes overhangs and cave ceilings. Successful husbandry demands frequent target feeding (three to five times weekly) with brine shrimp, mysis, or plankton, pausing flow to allow polyp extension during meals.
