Palm Tree Corals are an attractive and hardy soft coral species perfect for Australian reef aquariums. Recognised for their bright green colour and distinctive tree-like polyps that sway gracefully with water movement, they add vibrant colour and dynamic motion to any reef tank.

Fish Tank Compatibility
Palm Tree Corals are peaceful and compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates. They do not sting neighbouring corals aggressively, making them a safe choice for mixed reef tanks. Avoid housing with species known to nip soft corals, such as some butterflyfish or angelfish.
Lighting Needs
These corals thrive under low to moderate LED or T5 reef lighting. Proper lighting encourages healthy growth, vibrant colour, and full polyp extension. Gradually acclimate new specimens to your aquarium lighting to prevent stress.
Water Flow Requirements
Palm Tree Corals prefer moderate water flow that gently moves their polyps. Too strong a current can damage delicate tissue, while too little flow may allow detritus to settle on the colony. Gentle circulation ensures nutrient delivery and waste removal for healthy growth.
Tank Size & Placement
Palm Tree Corals are best suited to medium to large marine aquariums. Place them on rockwork or substrate where they can expand and form flowing colonies. Consistent water parameters and routine care will keep your Palm Tree Coral thriving and vibrant for years.
All our corals are sustainably collected or tank grown to ensure our reefs remain protected.
