Capnella is an excellent beginner coral that is typically very hardy. |
Indo-Pacific -
Islands of the Indopacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.
Capnella does not require as much light as some other corals.
It can be kept under normal output fluorescents without much difficulty.
In some cases, it may extend more readily under subdued lighting, however it may display more attractive colors when placed under stronger lighting.
Moderate water movement is recommended.
Capnella relies heavily on the products of their zooxanthellae but also may
feed on phytoplankton and similarly sized microfauna in the water column.
This genus for the most part has been propagated extensively in captivity and
is an excellent candidate for aquaculture. It is reasonable to believe that a
sustainable harvest can be achieved in time.
