Aussie Neon Plate Coral

About this coral

Aussie Neon Plate Coral is an LPS coral from the plate-coral group, offered as a “plate” style coral. In a reef aquarium, it’s typically used as a display coral on the substrate where its flat, plate-like body can be viewed clearly. Since the exact scientific name for this named coral listing isn’t verified here, the guidance below is group-level for plate/LPS corals in general.

Features:

• Plate corals are best presented on the bottom so their plate form can sit naturally and be easily observed.
• They generally prefer sandbeds rather than bare rock-only placement, which helps keep the look consistent and reduces stress from unstable support.
• Provide moderate light so the coral can capture what it needs without harsh, high-intensity lighting.
• Use gentle to moderate water flow to avoid blasting tissue while still supporting respiration and waste removal.
• As an LPS coral, it benefits from reef-appropriate water quality and stable chemistry typical of a maintained saltwater tank.
• Many LPS corals appreciate occasional feeding of suitably sized meaty foods, although exact feeding behavior varies by individual coral.

Specifications:

• Type: LPS coral (plate-coral group)
• Placement: Prefer sandbed placement; avoid unstable mounting
• Lighting: Moderate light
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, not direct blasting
• Diet: Primary energy via light; may benefit from occasional meaty feedings appropriate for LPS size
• Water quality: Maintain stable reef aquarium conditions with appropriate alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels
