Lazy Daisies (LCH Favorite!)

Lazy Daisies is a pipe organ coral that resembles a bouquet of daisies with white feather like tentacles and green center. It is an easy coral to keep that doesn’t need much light. 50-100 par is recommended with moderate flow. They can do really well and look best at 200-300 par however they can’t handle any algae. So if your tank stays clear of fibrous algae such as hair algae. Then go for higher light. If not, and you occasionally get algae, then keep it lower light to reduce the chances of it developing between the polyps and choking it out. Under higher light the polyps are white and they look amazing!

       (Tubipora musica) This species is a soft coral with a hard skeleton of calcium carbonate that contains many pipe like tubes. On each tube is a series of polyps which each have eight feather-like tentacles. These tentacles are extended during the day, but will swiftly withdraw with any sort of disturbance.
