Teal/green Pagoda cup

Pagoda Cup Coral Care – Turbinaria spp. The Pagoda Cup Coral, also known as Turbinaria, is a hardy LPS coral with a unique cup, scroll, or plate-shaped structure and vibrant polyps that extend during the day. It’s a great choice for reefers looking to add texture and architecture to their tank. Care Highlights: 💡 Lighting: Moderate to high PAR (150–250) – thrives under LED, T5, or halide 🌊 Flow: Moderate – enough to keep tissue clean and polyps gently swaying 📍 Placement: Lower to mid-tank; horizontal or vertical depending on shape 🍽️ Feeding: Photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional broadcast feeding (amino acids, reef roids) 🧪 Parameters: Temp: 75–78°F Salinity: 1.025 dKH: 8–11 Calcium: 420–460 ppm Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm Pro Tips: Great for ledges and overhangs — its shape can provide shade for other corals Polyps extend more in stable systems with consistent nutrient levels Avoid placing in sand beds to prevent tissue irritation
