Cup Coral - Colored SPS combined with its appealing roundA fairly new animal to the captive aquarium scene, the Cup coral makes a very interesting addition. It is usually orange, with translucent tentacles which emerge in dim lighting. The Cup coral is completely non photosynthetic and receives all of its energy by capturing zooplankton. It will accept items such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, oyster eggs, pellets, etc. Feedings should be as regular as possible, preferably at least every 24 hours.
