Common name: Bubble Coral Family
Scientific name: Polyphysaceae
The Polyphysaceae family, commonly known as the Bubble Coral Family, includes species like Plerogyra and Physogyra which are characterized by their distinctive bubble-like appearance when their polyps are expanded. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their unique look and relatively easy care requirements. They are LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals and tend to do well in moderate lighting and water flow conditions. They can be sensitive to high nitrate levels and require stable calcium and alkalinity to thrive.
