Description
Bubble Coral (Plerogyra sinuosa – Pink)
Bubble Corals are a captivating LPS coral species treasured by Australian reef aquarists for their unique, bubble-like vesicles that gently sway in the aquarium current. Pink Bubble Corals feature translucent pink bubbles that expand and contract with water movement and lighting, creating a soft, dynamic, and visually stunning display. Moderately hardy, these corals are ideal for intermediate reef keepers seeking a coral that adds texture, colour, and movement to their marine aquarium. With proper care, Pink Bubble Corals can develop into flourishing colonies that become the centerpiece of your reef display.

Fish Tank Compatibility
Pink Bubble Corals are semi-aggressive and can extend sweeper tentacles capable of stinging nearby corals, so allow ample space around them. They are compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates but should be kept away from coral-nipping species such as butterflyfish and some angelfish.
Lighting Needs
These corals thrive under low to moderate LED or T5 reef lighting. Adequate lighting encourages bubble expansion, vibrant colour, and healthy polyp growth. Gradually acclimate new specimens to prevent stress or bleaching.
Water Flow Requirements
Provide low to moderate, indirect water flow. Gentle circulation allows the vesicles to sway naturally while ensuring nutrient delivery and waste removal. Avoid strong currents that could damage delicate bubbles.
Tank Size & Placement
Pink Bubble Corals are best suited for medium to large marine aquariums. Place them on rock ledges or stable substrate with enough space for expansion. Consistent water parameters and careful maintenance will help your Bubble Coral thrive and maintain its unique, flowing appearance.
All our corals are sustainably collected or tank grown to ensure our reefs remain protected.
