Common names: Doughnut coral, meat coral

Difficulty level: Acanthophyllia is one of the more sensitive of the sand dwelling LPS corals. Extra care must be take to stabilize alkalinity and calcium.

Feeding: Acanthophyllia is an aggressive eater which will consumer nearly any sized meat based foods able to fit on its oral disc.

Lighting: Lower lighting levels are acceptable for this sand dwelling species.

Waterflow: They may be housed in most flow conditions though time should be given when moving them into higher flow to allow the flesh to acclimate and fill properly.

Placement: Acanthophyllia must be placed on a soft sand bed with enough room around it to open without being damaged on nearby rocks.

General: These are probably the best shape-shifter of all corals with the ability to make vast changes in their size and shape to fit conditions.

They do love to eat and are very prone to mouth damage when shrimp and or fish steal food from their mouths. I use a Tupperware with small holes in it to protect them while they eat.
