Bernardpora sp. - Red Bernardpora are prized for their red coloration. These frags are from cultured coral not taken from the reef.
These corals are called "Flowerpot Corals" for good reason. Stalks with flower-like polyps at the ends extend from the skeleton. The polyps will be closed when it arrives, but be sure to give it some room to expand, as the tentacles stretch out of the base.
Bernardpora are closely related to and similar to flowerpot corals Goniopora, but they are hardier and much easier to keep in home aquariums. They have smaller, shorter polyps and encrust on rock.
This species prefers gentle, moderate water flow and low to medium light. Take care to slowly acclimate it to the lighting in your aquarium. We recommend regular feedings of micro coral foods like Goniopower, Coral Frenzy, and Reef Roids.
