But instead, their skeletal structure has depressions or valleys. Their polyps can expand in a relatively large size that usually takes the form of grapes, tubes or irregular.
For the Green Bubble Coral Plerogyra, they are predominatly colored light blue with a green undertone on the side. This are the water parameters for cultivating Green Bubble Coral Plerogyra:
- Calcium: 420 - 440 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1260 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 -10
