Pearl Bubble Coral

Details

Physogyra lichtensteini The White Pearl Bubble Coral is a stunning addition to any reef aquarium. Known for its unique bubble-like vesicles, this coral has a soft, pearl-white glow that stands out beautifully under both natural and aquarium lighting. Its inflated bubbles give it a delicate, almost ethereal appearance, making it a striking centerpiece in a reef tank.

This coral is relatively hardy and can adapt well to a variety of aquarium conditions, making it suitable for both intermediate and experienced reef keepers. It prefers moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow, which allow its vesicles to expand fully and sway gracefully in the current. With the right placement and care, the White Pearl Bubble Coral will thrive and continue to bring visual interest and movement to your aquarium.

Physogyra lichtensteini is an "old-school" coral that isn't available in the trade as often these days, and you don’t see them as often in modern reef setups. Its classic bubble coral shape has been admired by aquarists for decades, making it a nostalgic choice for those who remember the early days of reef keeping. Bringing this coral into your tank is a way to connect with the history of the hobby.

In addition to its beauty, Physogyra lichtensteini provides important structure within the reef environment. Its large, rounded bubbles create hiding spots for small fish and invertebrates, adding both aesthetic and ecological value to your system. This coral grows slowly but steadily, rewarding patience with long term health and elegance in a reef tank.
