Burning Banana Stylocoeniella Coral - Care Requirements

Burning Banana Stylocoeniella Coral is an encrusting stony coral with a bright yellow presentation. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers seeking an encrusting stony coral with a bright yellow appearance. Its growth habit makes planning available surface area important from the start.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making changes to placement or intensity.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Alternating movement helps keep the coral clear without continuously blasting one area of its encrusting surface.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a stable mounting surface. Leave room around the coral so its encrusting growth can expand naturally.

Temperament

Give it space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but its encrusting growth can overgrow nearby corals when placement is too tight.

Feeding

Rely primarily on appropriate lighting for support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally as part of a regular, measured reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain consistent reef conditions and avoid frequent abrupt changes while the coral establishes new growth. Check that its mounting surface remains secure, keep its growth path open, and adjust placement gradually based on its ongoing response.

Plan its placement early to accommodate steady encrusting growth.
