A nice coral that resembles a cluster of bubbles or grapes. It is fairly easy to maintain since it needs low to moderate lighting and occasional feedings of invert filter foods. Use caution in placement however. Its sweeper tentacles can harm other corals and some species might even sting the aquarist. |

The Bubble Coral (Plerogyra simplex) is sometimes called an Octobubble Coral or a Grape Coral. It belongs to the family named Caryophylliidae. The Bubble Coral is aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Plerogyra simplex in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a moderate water current and a fluctuating water current.
