The Single Color Lordhowensis Coral is an outstanding color variety of the popular Micromussa lordhowensis Coral. The striking monochromatic coloration emphasizes the rhythmic and geometric growth habit of this lovely colonial coral. Single Color Lordhowensis Coral can range in coloration from green, blue, grey and red or variations thereof. Lordhowensis Corals generally have large corallites (8-15mm) with small teeth or lobes on their septa, as well as well-developed columellae. In the wild, they're found mostly in shallow, turbid water habitats to about 20m, often in protected areas like lagoons, forming colonies up to several meters across.

In the reef aquarium, the Single Color Lordowensis Coral is incredibly hardy and fast growing, tolerating a wide variety of conditions, including both low and moderate lighting and moderate water currents. Though tolerant of a wide range of aquarium conditions, the robust Lordhowensis Coral will do best in an established reef aquarium with stable conditions.

Be aware that Lordhowensis Corals are voracious nocturnal predators and competitively extrude mesenterial filaments and digest organisms within reach. Great care must be taken in determining the placement and distance between Lordhowensis colonies and other species of stony corals.
