Tubastraea Sun Coral Care Tips

This video is all about sun corals from the genus Tubastraea. Sun corals get their name from their bright yellow coloration and sun-like appearance of each polyp. Despite their bright sunny name, these corals are non-photosynthetic which means they do not get any energy from the light unlike most corals in the hobby. Their popularity is rooted both in their beautiful appearance as well as the challenge to keep them alive and thriving. Feeding and nutrition is so important for these corals that it frames the discussion of just about every aspect of their care requirements as you will see.

Scientists are Studying the Biological Relationship Between Corals and Marine Bacteria

The relationship between bacteria and Corals has recently become a hot topic on Reef2Reef as a result of a research paper recently published in the Nature journal. The study estimates that about 1/3 of all corals worldwide are infected with this newly discovered bacterium which researchers named,Candidatus Aquarickettsia rohweri. The bacterium can be found in a number of corals that we commonly keep in our aquariums including, Acropora, Goniopora, Montipora, Seriatopora and Stylophora species. Additionally, it can also be found in anemones. Researches also discovered the bacterium can be transmitted through coral eating parasitic snails and transported through seawater whereby it can potentially infect corals where tissue damage is present. Corals that are infected with Candidatus Aquarickettsia rohweri exhibit little to no growth. Researchers hypothesize the
