Plerogyra Bubble Corals

Bubble corals are a stony coral from the Genus Plerogyra. Bubble corals are one of those stony corals that many beginners in the hobby mistake for a soft coral because of their fleshy body that often hides their skeleton. They come in two main varieties that are commonly seen. Ones that have round grape-shaped bubbles, and others that have irregularly shaped bubbles. Bubble corals have incredible regenerative ability. I have seen colonies that have completely died down to the bone come back. The tiniest slivers of flesh that remain once stabilized can form new healthy colonies and within a year regain impressive size. If you happen to have one that dies in your care, don’t be in a huge hurry to throw away the skeleton. You may be surprised what grows from it in the future.
