Plerogyra turbida

Plerogyra turbida, commonly known as the Branching Bubble Coral, is a large-polyp stony (LPS) coral recognized for its clusters of translucent, bubble-like vesicles that inflate during the day and retract at night to extend feeding tentacles. Compared to Plerogyra sinuosa, this species typically forms a more branching skeleton. Its soft, pearl-like bubbles create gentle movement and a unique, eye-catching display in reef aquariums.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Flow: Gentle, indirect; avoid strong currents
• Placement: Lower rockwork in a protected area; allow space to prevent contact with other corals
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional meaty foods such as mysis, brine shrimp, or finely chopped seafood
