How do I know these aquacultured Cyphastrea corals are healthy and will thrive in my UK reef tank?

All our aquacultured Cyphastrea corals are carefully grown in our UK facility, ensuring they are healthy, robust, and free from common pests. Each frag undergoes a quarantine period and is asexually reproduced, meaning it's genetically identical to a healthy parent colony. We provide clear care guidelines, and our team is always here to help you choose the best Cyphastrea corals for your specific aquarium parameters.

What makes these Cyphastrea coral frags 'rare' and how can I identify them?

Our 'rare' Cyphastrea corals are sought after due to unique colour morphs, growth patterns, or origins that are less commonly found in the hobby. While Cyphastrea are generally hardy, the rare varieties often display stunning fluorescence or intricate textures. Each frag is clearly described and photographed to highlight its unique characteristics, allowing you to identify and select the specific rare Cyphastrea you desire for your reef.

What's the best way to acclimate a new Cyphastrea coral frag to my existing reef aquarium?

Upon arrival, we recommend using a drip acclimation method over 60-90 minutes to slowly introduce your new Cyphastrea coral frag to your tank's water parameters. Ensure your aquarium has stable lighting and moderate flow, as Cyphastrea corals are generally adaptable. Avoid placing them in direct, high-intensity light immediately; gradually increase intensity over a week. We include detailed acclimation instructions with every order.

Can I mix different varieties of Cyphastrea corals from Royal Reef in the same tank?

Yes, Cyphastrea corals are known for being relatively peaceful and are often housed together. However, as with any coral, monitor for any signs of aggression or 'sweeping' tentacles, especially if placing them very close together. Our aquacultured frags are grown in similar conditions, which often leads to good compatibility. Providing adequate space between frags is always a good practice for optimal growth and health.
