Genus

Common name: Candy Cane Coral

Scientific name: Caulastraea

Caulastraea is a genus of stony corals commonly known as Candy Cane, Trumpet, or Bullseye Coral. These LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals are popular in reef aquariums due to their hardiness and ease of care. They exhibit a variety of vibrant colors, often with contrasting tips. Caulastraea species are nocturnal feeders, extending their tentacles at night to capture prey. They benefit from moderate lighting and water flow, and can be fed with meaty foods for optimal health. Their calcified structure provides a habitat for a range of marine organisms, contributing to the biodiversity of the reef environment.
