Euphyllia cristata, also known as the branched or trumpet coral, is a striking coral with large polyps. It occurs in the Indo-Pacific region and has branched structures with sinuous tentacles. This coral varies in colour and requires moderate to strong water flow and bright light. It feeds by photosynthesis and catches small animals at night. Euphyllia cristata is popular in reef aquaria and requires stable water parameters and good nutrition for healthy growth.
