Transform Your Tank with an ECC Circuit Breaker Cyphastrea — Encrusting Color That Grows Into a Living Mosaic
Looking for an encrusting LPS that adds dramatic color to your live rock without demanding a center stage? The ECC Circuit Breaker Cyphastrea is one of Eye Catching Coral's standout selections — a Cyphastrea variant with neon green base tissue and electric orange polyps that pop under reef LEDs. Sourced exclusively for The Coral Boutique, this is a beginner-friendly designer LPS that grows out into a striking architectural feature over time.
Cyphastrea corals are famously easygoing — they encrust along live rock at a steady pace and tolerate a wider range of conditions than most designer LPS. The Circuit Breaker rewards stable parameters with progressively brighter color contrast as it acclimates. Perfect for the lower or shaded sections of an established reef tank where it can spread out and develop its architectural form.

WHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?
Every coral at The Coral Boutique is hand-selected, ethically sourced, and conditioned in our quarantine system before it ever ships. Designer Cyphastrea need stable conditions to color up properly — we extend, feed, and verify each piece is encrusting cleanly and showing strong polyp extension before it leaves our system.
