Genus
Common name: Flowerpot Coral
Scientific name: Meoma
Meoma is a genus of large polyp stony corals commonly known as Flowerpot Corals. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their vibrant colors and unique growth form that resembles a blooming flowerpot. They are photosynthetic and host zooxanthellae, symbiotic algae that provide nutrients through photosynthesis. Flowerpot Corals require moderate to high lighting and water flow to thrive. They are sensitive to changes in water quality and can be challenging to keep, so they are recommended for experienced aquarists.
