🍽️ Care & Feeding
Catalaphyllia corals are active feeders and thrive when target-fed. Offer:

finely chopped mysis or krill
-
reef pellets or soft coral foods
Feed 1–2× weekly to sustain growth, promote tissue expansion, and intensify pigmentation.
Keep distance from other corals — long sweepers can sting several centimetres away at night.
