Green Plate Coral
The Green Plate Coral is a beautiful and distinctive LPS coral known for its vibrant green coloration, unique shape, and impressive presence within a reef aquarium. Its broad, plate-like skeleton and fleshy tissue create a striking display that stands out against surrounding rockwork and corals. Under reef lighting, its bright green coloration can become even more vibrant, making it a stunning focal point in both beginner and advanced reef systems.
Plate corals are appreciated for their hardiness and fascinating behavior. When healthy and fully expanded, they can display remarkable polyp extension and may even inflate their tissue, giving them a dynamic appearance that changes throughout the day. They thrive under low to moderate lighting and gentle water flow, where they can comfortably expand without excessive stress from strong currents.
Unlike many corals that require placement on rock structures, Green Plate Corals are often happiest resting directly on the sand bed, where they have room to expand naturally. With stable water parameters and occasional feedings of meaty foods, they can develop excellent coloration and continue growing into an impressive showpiece.
