California Hydrocoral, Stylaster californicus in the ocean

Report Broken Video

Beautiful filming of this pink beauty.

The California Hydrocoral is found in cool waters ranging from 42.8 to 55˚F (6 to 13˚C), which means a chiller is a must! The tank should be 100 gallons or more and at least a year old. This corals is difficult to almost impossible to keep alive long term due to the copious amounts of plankton it needs to live. This level of feeding pollutes closed systems. Some have tried skimmerless, algae-scrubbers, Jaubert or the Monaco systems with limited success. Best left in the wild.
