notes
   One of the wide range of Turbinaria Corals. This one is quite easy to care for. Does grow fairly quickly, so provide enough room around it. Will not harm other corals or tankmates.   
overview
  
The Pagoda Cup Coral (Turbinaria Sp.) is sometimes called a Cup Coral, a Turban Coral, a Scroll Coral, or a Vase Coral. It belongs to the family named Dendrophylliidae. The Pagoda Cup 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. Turbinaria Sp. 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.
