CARING FOR NPS (non-photosynthetic) CORAL!

In todays video, I give a brief overview of some of the most common non-photosynthetic corals found in the aquarium trade. Non-photosynthetic coral are completely aposymbiotic meaning they lack zooxenthellae and therefore are entirely dependent on supplemental feedings. The coral I mention are the black sun coral (Tubastraea micrantha), orange sun coral (Tubastraea faulkneri), yellow and red finger gorgonians (Diodogorgia nodulifera), and a Scleronephthya coral. Scleronephthya are commonly sold under the same names as the Dendronephthya genus which include: carnation coral, cauliflower soft coral, tree coral, flower tree coral, and orange soft tree coral. They appear similar with a few physical differences, however, care in the aquarium is often the same. Over the course of the video, I give an overview of the diet and feeding, water parameters, and placement for these corals. For many of these coral, phytoplankton make up a significant portion of their diet, if you’d like to watch a video on how to setup a phytoplankton culture you can watch the following video:    • How to Culture and Harvest Phytoplankton   Works cited: Borneman, E.
