Adam's stocks a wide selection
of corals.
These marine animals need extra care
to ensure survival, including: special sun-like lighting, clear and
clean water, warm water temperatures and the right balance of salt
in the water.
Avoid adding corals to your tank if
you already have: parrotfish, butterfly fish, angelfish, sea
slugs, snails, worms and some starfish.
Hard Coral
Hard or stony coral have skeletons made from limestone and look
like rock (pictured, left). They build colonies called coral
reefs.
Hard coral need tiny algae called
zooxanthellae to survive. These zooxanthellae actually live
inside the coral polyps and provide 80% or more of the corals
nutritional needs as well as the color of the coral.
Soft Coral
Soft coral have soft skeletons that are bendable and often look
like trees or plants (pictured, left). They grow wood-like cores
for support. They don't build coral reefs.
