Overview
The WWC Hi-C Cyphastrea is a vibrant encrusting coral with a solid, full orange colour that makes it stand out brilliantly, even in low-light zones of your reef. This frag, similar to the one shown in the photo, is ideal for reefers looking to add high-contrast colour to shaded or underlit areas where other corals might fade.
Known for its glowing neon-like appearance under blue or actinic lighting, the Hi-C is a reliable grower that encrusts rock surfaces with a bold splash of fiery orange.
Care & Feeding
Like most Cyphastrea, the Hi-C is a hardy, low-maintenance coral. It’s primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional feeding with microplankton or coral powder blends to enhance growth and colour intensity.
Optimal Parameters
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO3): 2–10 ppm
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Best placed on shaded rockwork, vertical surfaces, or lower areas of your aquascape. Ensure low to moderate flow and avoid placing near aggressive corals. This encrusting coral thrives when given space to spread without interruption.
🧡🌟 Bold, Bright, and Built to Glow – The WWC Hi-C Cyphastrea is a pure orange powerhouse perfect for lighting up the overlooked corners of your reef with style.
