Product Description

The Cauliflower Soft Coral, Nephthea, or Nephthya, is similar to the members of both the Litophyton and Nephthea genera. It lives in a wide range of the Indo-Pacific. It has a thick trunk, like a tree, and many branches giving it an arboreal appearance. It is not normally considered a threat to hard corals, but may itself be disturbed by their presence. The CauliflowerCoral relies less on the symbiotic algae within it, and depends more on obtaining outside food. Microplankton, marine snow, and dissolved materials should make up the bulk of its diet.
