Sun Coral

Sun corals get their name from their bright yellow coloration and sun-like appearance of each polyp. Despite their bright sunny name, these corals are non-photosynthetic which means they do not get any energy from the light unlike most corals in the hobby. In fact, they are probably the most well-known non-photosynthetic coral in the hobby and have been a fixture in the industry for decades. Their popularity is rooted both in their beautiful appearance as well as the challenge to keep them alive and thriving.   Picture is a quality sample and actual coral will vary.
