WYSIWYG
What you see is what you get — the photo on the product page is the exact specimen that ships to you.
LPS / SPS / Soft
Large-polyp stony, small-polyp stony, and soft corals. Different care needs for lighting and flow; soft is the most beginner-friendly.
Care Level
Beginner-friendly, intermediate, or advanced — based on how forgiving the species is with light, flow, water chemistry, and feeding. Filter by it on the left.
PAR (lighting)
Photosynthetically Active Radiation — how much usable light reaches the coral. Low ≈ 50–100 PAR (deep placement), Medium ≈ 100–200, High ≈ 200+ (top of tank under strong reef LEDs).
Flow
Water movement at the coral's location. Low for soft corals and Goniopora; Medium for most LPS; High for SPS and many Acropora.
Aggression
How much a species will sting or chemically attack neighbors. Peaceful corals (Zoanthids, Discosoma) live close together; aggressive ones (Euphyllia, Catalaphyllia) need 4–6 inches of clearance.
Frag / Colony
Frag = a small cutting on a plug, ~1 inch. Mini-colony = 2–3 inches. Colony = full multi-head specimen, 4 inches and up.
Orphek OR4
The reef-spectrum LED fixture we photograph under, so colors match what you'll see in your own tank under similar lighting.
Professionally Graded
Each coral is sized, colored, and condition-checked by hand before listing. Photos are not retouched.
