What do corals need to survive?
What Do Coral Reefs Need to Survive?

- Warm water temperature: Reef-building corals require warm water conditions to survive.
Is Coral hard to keep?
In general, hard or SPS/LPS corals are not as flexible as their soft coral cousins, making Mushrooms, Zoanthids, Polyps and Leather Corals some of the favorites for both novice and experienced reef-keepers alike. However, keep in mind that corals can be finicky.
Should I Feed corals at night?
Corals benefit from feeding in the evenings or at night. It is the time when the polyps spread and the little creatures that corals eat go out. Low light conditions can also help improve the feeding process.
Can you feed coral too much?
Feeding corals is definitely something a lot of reefkeepers struggle with. Many overfeed, feed inappropriate foods (foods that are too large or too small for the corals they have), broadcast feed the whole tank when they only have a few corals that should be spot fed, etc. One person will tell you not to feed anything.
Should I Feed corals everyday?
Spot feeding I’d recommend a couple times a week at most. Feeding the fish daily will also give the euphyllia some food as well.
Should I add coral or fish first?
For corals vs. fish, it comes down to which is more sensitive. Do the hardiest first, then slowly add the more sensitive animals over a couple months (being wary of adding any overly aggressive fish early). So for example, if you want a mandarin and mushrooms, go with the mushrooms first.
Can I take coral from the beach?
As a general rule, do not remove dead coral pieces from the beach as souvenirs. In many locations, collecting coral is strictly prohibited and you might get a hefty fine. The same rule applies of course to living corals too. Never break off any of the coral to take home with you as a souvenir.
What causes coral to lose color?
The leading cause of coral bleaching is climate change. A warming planet means a warming ocean, and a change in water temperature—as little as 2 degrees Fahrenheit—can cause coral to drive out algae. Coral may bleach for other reasons, like extremely low tides, pollution, or too much sunlight.
Can Coral regain color?
If the water temperature goes back to normal, the coral can eventually regain algae and their color, but even the fastest growing corals need 10 to 15 years to fully recover, according to a 2013 study published in the journal Science.
What do you do with dead coral blocks?
