Care at a glance
The colt coral forms soft, slightly translucent branches with a smooth, somewhat waxy texture and fine polyps at the tips. It resembles the tree coral, but stays paler in colour and firmer in form.
It is decidedly easy and tolerates a range of conditions, from moderate to bright light and from gentle to strong flow. It grows fast and occasionally drops a branch that simply grows on elsewhere, which makes propagating it exceptionally simple.
