Trumpets or Candy Cane coral belong to the line of Caulastrea coral. Though the recent introduction of the genus astraeosmilia now splits up the candy cane corals. A widely popular coral for the beginner reef hobbyist.
A common aquacultured species, candy cane coral are abundantly available and well acclimated to captive environments. Two stunning examples are Top Shelf Aquatics kryptonite and cursed candy cane which have been aquacultured for nearly a decade.
Caulastrea coral have bony stalk-like skeletal structures that split into individual polyps or heads. The polyps are typically round-shaped with inflated ruffled edges. Commonly seen in various shades of greens and blues but bicolor and highly fluorescent variants are becoming more readily available.
Tolerant of many environmental conditions, candy cane coral seem to thrive in moderate lighting and flow. Long term captive propagation has made them durable and hardy aquarium inhabitants. Best kept in the mid to lower portion of an aquarium. Lower flow will help the polyp inflate to its fullest.
On rare occasions they can extend a sweeper tentacle, which can reach up to 2 inches in length. It is best to keep these corals a few inches away from other corals to avoid any chemical warfare
Growth of this coral can be accelerated by feeding. Each of its polyps have their own mouth and can be fed individually. At Top Shelf Aquatics use a combination of Benepets powdered coral food, Fauna Marin LPS Pellets, PE Mysis and Calanus, all of which promote faster growth.
If you’re a beginner hobbyist, you can’t go wrong with adding a candy cane coral to your system. It is a rewarding coral to begin with and will only become more striking as it develops into a colony.
