Plate Coral Placement

Plates do best on the sand bed under par of about 100. You can place them on low rock work as well if it is flat and there is no chance of it falling over. You should not glue the bottom of plate corals as this can kill them. They don’t have a sting but they should not be placed directly in contact with any other corals. They do well under low to medium flow, you want to give them enough to keep their bodies clean of detritus but not so much that they risk flipping over as they cannot flip themselves back and this will kill them in a few days.

Plate Color & Size

Plate corals normally arrive 3-4″. In the wild they can grow up to 18″ across. Green plate corals are the most common in color and red are the most rare. Orange varieties are uncommon and when you have a plate with different body and tentacle colors it usually makes them more valuable because of their rarity.

Plate Coral Feeding

Plate corals love to eat! We feed our vitalis LPS pellet but they will eat just about anything. Feeding is not necessary because they are photosynthetic but they do appreciate regular weekly feeding.

Dipping Plate Corals

It is always good practice to dip them with coral rx or two little fishies revive coral dip before adding them to your aquarium.
