Possesses very sticky tentacles that allow it to catch all sorts of prey.

Indo-Pacific - Islands of the Indopacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.

This coral does not derive its energy from the byproducts of photosynthesis. Pseudocorynactis can be kept under all light conditions, but may feed more readily under subdued lighting.

Moderate water movement is recommended.

As previously stated, Pseudocorynactis are non-photosynthetic and as a result require daily feeding for best health. There are a variety of frozen fish foods available that make outstanding meals for Pseudocorynactis. We like to feed a mixture of meaty foods such as shrimp, fish, and squid with vitamin additives and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA). The size of the food must be small enough that the polyp can fully ingest it.

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.
