Large Long Polyp Plate Coral
Transform Your Tank with a Living, Moving Centerpiece Unlike Any Other LPS
Looking for a coral that brings genuine motion to your reef? The Long Polyp Plate Coral extends long, flowing tentacles that sway with the current — more reminiscent of an anemone than a traditional stony coral. This large specimen arrives fully mature, ready to claim its spot on your sandbed and expand into a true display-tank anchor.
Plate corals thrive on the sandbed where they have room to fully inflate. They're approachable for intermediate reefers, tolerant of a range of conditions, and respond beautifully to consistent parameters and weekly target feeding. If you want presence and movement in your saltwater aquarium, this is it.
