Cyphastrea has always been my favorite, finally got a branching variety years ago and a freak heater malfunction killed it shortly after. Can’t wait to get my hands on another one!
Thanks you so much sir... Sharing fantastic video and corrals tips... It's been 3 years I watch all your videos inside UA-cam channel... . I stills having trouble my saltwater aquarium..Thanks again sir...
We have three cyphastrea corals in our tank. Purple, Green, and Blue. Purple likes direct light, blue likes indirect light (high up in the tank but off to the side of a light), and green likes low light. Funny how they have such different needs.
I have the decadia branch pale blue but the polips don't petrude but it is skinning over the base and that part is an aqua green with red polips don't know y
I use soda lime reactor with skimmer to stop the co2 being smashed into tank water I don't have to buff dkh as much if my ph is ok and need to buff dkh I use sodium carbonate if my ph is low but dkh is ok I change the soda lime granuals normally they turn blue I been reefing for 25 years this is my most stable set up oh I use tropic Marin reef pro I allso started using aquaforest np pro and probiotic s sweet
My alkalinity drops from around 8.4 to 7.8 worst 7.5 every 5-7 days in my 40 gallon , using Red Sea coral pro brings up the alk to 8.4 doing a 5 gallon water change weekly but dipping that much in alk weekly ,will that stress out the corals since it’s going back up from around 7.8 back to 8.4ish doing a water change ? I am asking because I was given a fender bender cyphasteria , and wanted to make sure the dip in alk and raising by thag much with a water change won’t bother it ,as I mostly have softies and a few lps as well.
You think this coral would do good with a us marine current led light? I haven’t had success with any other sps, but you say these don’t like strong light
Haha I got mine 1.5 month ago... Stuggle like crazy.. polyps never got out.. 2 week Ago it start to grow like crazy.. and this week.. he's just dying... Loll
This coral is weird for me some do well while others just die on me no matter where i put them in the tank. Everything else does great for me except this lol
Your photography is by all means the best on the net. Great vid
I couldn’t agree more.
Thank you for introducing the link between Ph and Calcium / Magnesium! Very helpful for me as a new reefer, much appreciated!
I didn’t know there were branching forms!, that’s awesome!
I have just recently discovered your channel. Beyond impressed by your high level of excellence in everything you do.
Thank you very much. Welcome.

One of my favorite corals.
👍 Always great to see that notification pop up
Great video and chemistry lesson. You always have the best coverage of coral spotlights. Thanks!
Thank You. Sure have come a long ways. And so much ahead. Wow.
Thank you
This coral has really grown on me, went from one to 3 in my tank! Didnt know they would soak up Cal as much though, learned something new.
I was looking at the old cyphastrea video last night. Thanks
Have been thinking about picking one of these up but didnt have enough info so i really appreciate this video.
Love these videos and love these corals. Amazing content again guys.

Thanks for all the amazing coral care videos. The videography/photography is stunning!
I don't think I've seen a branching variety that surprised me. Great video again!
New tidal gardens video, nice
Wow just learned this coral is in the same family as my merulina ampliata coral. Great video!
Love watching your videos! Thank you for the great info! 👍
I like Cyphastrea because they are basically LPS in SPS encrusting form, what I mean is they "EAT" like LPS.
Got a free meteor shower from you guys just before Christmas.. it’s my first cyphastrea and so far it’s doing great in low light! :D
That was a great video! Thanks for educating me.
Mounting tips?
I jist got a branching pink and red one still learning about this one
I wish these were more readily available in Europe, would love to have one.
Thank you for all the info. Very helpful
Exceptionally informative video
Very difficult to find the branching meteor shower variant, that's quite impressive to see in such high resolution, thanks for the video.
great series of videos. very detailed info. thanks

Just got a meteor shower and red cyphastrea. I can’t wait to see them color up!
Another informative video. Thanks Than.
Thanks for the video. Great information. Very helpful.

Thanks!
Yay another tidal Gardens video and I'm the first here....happy days
I am actually just about to buy the WWC skittle bomb! perfect timing
Do you find that the branching variety requires different care than the encrusting variety?
I'd love to know what species the blue branching Cyphastrea is in the beginning of the video. :)
Love cyfastria

would 170 par be suitable for the branching variety?
As usual a great video. Thank you very much. Do you have a recipe about diy amino acid additive
Thanks

Noob question. What does “rainbow” mean when used to describe coral.
I've been in the game several years and I don't know...... I'm in it for the brown. I like brown.
I tried one but it just didn't do well as soon as i got it, and I tried in low lighting. :/
Haha I got mine 1.5 month ago... Stuggle like crazy.. polyps never got out.. 2 week Ago it start to grow like crazy.. and this week.. he's just dying... Loll
LOL... guess I've been mispronouncing the name all this time. Nice video.
Top shelf aquatic stairs high and world wide coral stairs moderate light
👍🏽
This coral is weird for me some do well while others just die on me no matter where i put them in the tank. Everything else does great for me except this lol
Omg
Than....I have a meteor shower in 300 par and it's been growing good for a year. Polyps are not out wide and it looks almost like an encrusting monti.
