Need information on BUBBLE CORAL..

[dnorton1978]

I am the guy with the 55 gallon tank. My lighting is a total of 216 watts which equals about 3.9 watts per gallon. My main question is do i have enough light for the bubble coral.

I currently have a galaxia ( had for a little over a month)
Green hairy mushroom (had for about 6weeks.)
Plate coral( for about a month)
Xenia ( for about 1 month)
Green star polyp for about a month also.


Just recently lowered bioload. I got rid of my foxface.
Now have sailfin
2 small damsels
watchman goby
flame angel
coral beauty
If anybody needs more info, i apologise for not posting enough, and would be happy to supply more.


Any additional fact on the bubble coral would be nice. everything i read says it is a good begginer coral.. Thanks

You have plenty of light for bubble corals. They're very hardy corals. I've had many specimens, but my last one ended up being a fish eater It was probably more a product of its location (close to the entrance of a highly used tunnel, low light so it probably had to capture prey for nutrition).

one tip. my bubble coral prefers lower flow, it will not open as much in high current.
