Flora & Fauna

Spectacular black-and-white patterned eel. One of the most reef-compatible morays as it eats crustaceans rather than fish. Needs a very secure lid.

Stylophora is a classic branching SPS coral with short, rounded branch tips. Commonly called cats paw coral, it is a good entry-level SPS and grows quickly under reef lighting. Available in pink, green, and purple colour morphs.

Torch coral is a striking LPS coral with long flowing polyps tipped in gold, white, or green that wave like flames in gentle current. It shares care requirements with other euphyllia corals but is somewhat more sensitive to elevated nutrients and temperature spikes. Torch coral disease (rapid tissue necrosis) can devastate colonies, so quarantine new specimens.
