Green Cabbage Coral Care

Sinularia will periodically retract its polyps and form a waxy film. This shrunken state may last a couple weeks before the film is shed. There is nothing to worry about during this time it is a natural occurrence to help keep the surface of the coral clean. This is one of the reasons good moderate flow is important for this coral. They are not fussy when it comes to lighting and will do well in medium to high light even in a more shaded spot. Cabbage corals get most of their energy from light but will also feed on small food particles in the water.

Proper acclimation is important for all the animals you add to your aquarium. Take time to slowly acclimatise any new additions to the temperature and chemistry of you water by floating the bag in the aquarium and slowly adding your tank water to thee bag over 30-60 minutes.
