Burning Banana Stylocoeniella Coral - Care Requirements

Burning Banana Stylocoeniella Coral is an encrusting stony coral with a moderate care profile. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to reef keepers seeking an encrusting stony coral for a stable, established system. Plan its placement with open surface area so new growth has room to spread.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas with growth room
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can overgrow neighbors
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin in gentler light and observe its response before making gradual adjustments to its final position.

Flow

Provide moderate, varied flow. Alternating movement helps keep the surface clear while avoiding a single constant blast on the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a secure mounting surface. Leave room around the edges for encrusting growth and allow time for acclimation.

Temperament

Give this generally peaceful coral space from nearby corals. It can overgrow neighbors as it spreads, so maintain a clear boundary and monitor surrounding colonies.

Feeding

Rely primarily on light for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Feed lightly and observe the coral’s response rather than making feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and a stable mounting surface as the coral establishes new growth. Make changes gradually, watch for debris settling on its surface, and reassess placement if flow or light appears unsuitable.

Provide stable conditions and open growing space for steady establishment.
