Trumpet Corals

The Trumpet Coral is a classic large polyp stony (LPS) coral loved for its bright coloration, flowing feeding tentacles, and easy-going nature. Also known as Candy Cane Coral, this species features branching heads that glow beautifully under reef lighting, making it a standout addition to both beginner and advanced reef aquariums.

Trumpet Corals are hardy, peaceful, and relatively fast growing when kept in stable water conditions. Their vibrant green, blue, or striped heads add excellent contrast and movement to mixed reef systems.
