A very hardy coral that is good for any skill level. They can be placed almost anywhere in the tank and will easily thrive with occasional feedings of invert filter foods. |

The Candy Cane Coral (Caulastrea furcata) belongs to the family named Faviidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5 inches in diameter, the Candy Cane Coral is passive in nature and 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. Caulastrea furcata 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.

Feed at night, as the coral extends it's fingers/tentacles in the dark.
