Galaxea Coral Species.

The 'Galaxy Coral', species of the genus Galaxea are at the same time fragile and deadly. Long flutes protruding from their skeleton are easily broken during transport, while long sweeper tentacles sting and eventually kill anything within reach. Galaxea colonies spread over rocks as they grow, eventually taking over their entire surface and transforming the entire rock into one living coral, with hundreds of long filaments waving in the current. Known to be susceptible to various diseases, many advanced reef aquarists have enjoyed long-term success with these corals.

 

Coral species of the Genus Galaxea include:

> Galaxea Astreata > Galaxea Fascicularis
