These jelly-like masses, consisting of the protozoan Helicostoma nonatum and bacteria, feed upon damaged/dying tissue. The bubble tentacles are extended during the day, and hidden slightly by the longer tentacles when feeding during the night. The center of the coral can be the same or a contrasting color. Without a doubt, the Bubble Coral has become a reef aquarium favorite, and for good reasons as its hardy and easy to maintain, besides being highly attractive! Spotted on Feb 4, 2012 Submitted on Feb 23, 2012, and 2 other people favorited this spotting. When I feed my aquarium, if feeding tentacles are displayed, I use a small turkey baster and directly dose the polyps/tentacles with meaty foodstuffs, e.g., fortified brine shrimp, mysis, rotifers, diced clam/marine fish flesh/shrimp flesh, and/or products containing Cyclop-eeze. Some dropped off and were placed in secure areas in the aquarium where they began to develop into full replicas of its parent.
Over time, this bud develops a tiny skeleton and from the weight of itâs forming skeleton, drops off the parent. Another coral also called the Donut Coral is the Cynarina lacrymalis which is most often just called the Cynarina coral or Cats Eye. A global citizen science platform to discover, share and identify wildlife. Just keep in mind, haste makes waste when moving these corals too fast to much brighter areas. Generally, most prefer low to medium light, such as from fluorescent lamps.

Another form of cloning happens when the tissue of the parent begins to spread onto a piece of substrate that the parent is touching. Some bubbles have a fingerprint pattern on their surface, or exhibit a shimmering band down the middle surface area of the bubble and these are called Cat Eye Bubble Corals. Keep in mind if the water movement is too swift, the bubbles will not fully expand, detracting from the natural nourishment provided by the zooxanthellae on the surface of each bubble.
The Cat's Eye Doughnut Coral, Cynarina lacrymalis is perhaps the largest single polyp coral in nature, and can be free living or attached to substrate. If necessary, Iâll repeat the cleaning process.
But damage caused by hermit crabs/true crabs, shrimp, fish, or something falling against it, can initiate this problem. Iâve found the sanitizing effect of the Lugols to often quickly end the invasion of brown jelly. There are two different scientific names currently being used for the Scolymia vitiensis, Doughnut coral. It is topped with a tissue mass that has water filled bubble-shaped polyps, which can develop slightly different shapes and colors. The Bubble Coral is a beautiful LPS coral that originates from the reefs of the Indo-Pacific. In these areas, e.g., lower reef slopes, under overhangs and cave walls, they are often found in a vertical position.
Therefore, if the decision is made to feed, do so sparingly, e.g., twice monthly. Its skeleton develops a somewhat flattened, yet continuous and unbranched wall of fused vertical plates (septa). But the average aquarist still knows these beautiful corals as either a Doughnut coral or Scolymia vitiensis.
Even though very hardy, there is one more or less naturally caused health problem with this coral, and itâs called a âbrown jellyâ infection.
There are two different scientific names currently being used for the Scolymia vitiensis, Doughnut coral. Then I use a turkey baster filled with the remaining 8-drop solution and squirt only those brushed areas while continuing to hold the specimen over the empty pail. Cynarina coral colors can be very beautiful to drab. Cynarina have either a round or oval structure topped with translucent fleshy bubble shaped lobes. Gently shake the specimen and allow the bubbles to retract somewhat before removing. Considered a good, easy starter coral, but not always the best shipper. Those with colored tints appear to require slightly better lighting than white or tan specimens. Some bubbles have a fingerprint pattern on their surface, or exhibit a shimmering band down the middle surface area of the bubble and these are called Cat Eye Bubble Corals. This coral is peaceful and does well with other non-aggressive corals and invertebrates, provided it has ample room to grow. Specimens over 3 feet (1 m) across have been seen in the wild. Therefore handling during collection and/or shipping can easily damage this skeleton material and its associated tissue. It is filled with aquarium water that has 4 drops of Lugols iodine added to it per âgallon.â It has no substrate, but does contain a small powerhead for circulation and is moderately lit. Where most aquarists are concerned, and as discussed here, there is only one species of interest - Plerogyra sinuosa (Dana, 1846).

They come in short, long, white, green, as you can see here. Known by many names, e.g., Bubble Coral, Bladder Coral, Grape Coral, Octobubble Coral, or Pearl Coral, this stony coral (Plerogyra sinuosa) is one of the all time favorites among most reef aquarists. Love bubble corals and this one sure is nice. That would be about 1300 mg/l if the SG were maintained at 1.025 â 1.026. And, since its impossible to know exactly the lighting conditions from where the coral was collected, and the fact it has had inadequate lighting during shipment, its always wise to first place it in your aquarium in a low light area. When shopping for a bubble coral, be aware the animal's septa, i.e., the upright large blade-like structures that extend above the corallite walls, are quite sharp and somewhat thin. Doughnut corals can form more varied shapes than just a donut. This comes from recent scientific work suggesting an improper name had been used for all these years, and the objection to the name coming from where in the worlds oceans the Dougnut coral comes from. And itâs also possible a strong current will separate the corals flesh from its skeleton.
