Aussie Joker Plate Coral

About this coral

Aussie Joker Plate Coral is a plate-style LPS coral sold under that common aquarium name. In practical terms, it’s an eye-catching, low-competition coral that’s typically kept as a centerpiece LPS—placed on the sandbed so it can sit naturally and be viewed from above. Because commercial “color morph” naming is often used in coral trade, the listing name is treated as an identity label for the plate coral form rather than a guarantee of a specific scientific species; group-level care is provided for LPS plate corals in general.

Features:

• LPS plate coral form suited to aquariums that can provide stable, mature reef conditions
• Prefers sandbeds for natural placement and comfortable footing
• Does best under moderate lighting rather than very intense bulbs
• Typically performs better with gentle, indirect water movement that avoids blasting
• May benefit from occasional supplemental feeding, in addition to relying on light for energy
• Spreading, low-profile growth can help create a “plate” look when given room to settle

Specifications:

• Care level (general LPS guidance): Moderate
• Coral group: LPS (plate coral type)
• Substrate/placement: Prefer a sandbed; place so it can sit securely
• Lighting: Moderate light
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow
• Feeding (general LPS guidance): May benefit from targeted supplemental feeding; still relies on lighting
• Water parameters: Keep stable reef water conditions; maintain availability of key reef ions such as calcium and alkalinity
