Welcome to the enchanting world of Bubble Coral Sea! If you are a marine enthusiast, the Bubble Coral (Plerogyra spp) is an absolute must-have for your saltwater aquarium. This captivating species, commonly known as "Grape Coral," showcases a fascinating ability to inflate and deflate its water-filled vesicles. This stunning transformation occurs based on the light levels in your aquarium, making it a dynamic and engaging addition to your aquatic landscape.

The Bubble Coral belongs to the Plerogyra genus, which includes several varieties, some featuring bubble tips and branching formations. A familiar relative you might know is the Pearl Coral or Octobubble Coral, known for its unique beauty. All Bubble Corals are characterised by their lightweight skeletons, which feature short, thick stalks topped with corallites. These captivating corals are at their most enchanting during daylight hours when their oval, water-filled vesicles hide their skeletons.

As night falls, the bubbles retract to reveal tapered feeding tentacles, ready to gather prey from the water. While the bubbles pose no threat, be careful with the feeding tentacles as they deliver a mild sting. This characteristic makes Bubble Corals both stunning and intriguing, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned aquarists alike.

One reason these corals are highly sought after is their vibrant colour palette, which includes shades of bluish-green, green, cream, and tan. They form flat, round colonies that look like clusters of grapes, providing life and beauty to any aquarium. The elegance of Bubble Corals cannot be overstated; they easily enhance the aesthetic value of your tank.

• Easy to care for, making them perfect for beginners.
• Breathtaking colours add vibrancy and visual interest to your underwater environment.
