Bring intense color and unique patterning to your reef with the ACI Yellow Submarine Dipsastraea Coral, a striking named LPS coral featuring vivid yellow coloration and contrasting details that make each frag stand out under reef lighting.
Dipsastraea corals develop tightly packed, fleshy corallites over a stony skeleton, creating a textured colony that becomes increasingly impressive as it grows. This ACI cultured variety is an excellent choice for reef keepers looking for a colorful LPS that doesn't rely on long, flowing tentacles to make an impact.
This listing is for one Small ACI Yellow Submarine Dipsastraea Coral frag.

Color & Appearance
Yellow Submarine Dipsastraea is prized for its bright yellow coloration and contrasting corallite pattern, creating a bold splash of color in a mixed reef or LPS collection.
Appearance and color intensity can vary depending on lighting spectrum, intensity, nutrients, water chemistry, and the individual frag.
As the coral becomes established, it can gradually encrust surrounding surfaces and develop additional corallites.
Placement & Growth
Place the coral on stable rockwork where it has room to expand as the colony matures.
Dipsastraea can compete with neighboring corals, so provide adequate space around the frag rather than placing it directly against other colonies.
Lower-to-middle areas of the aquarium are generally a good starting point, followed by adjustments based on the coral's response to your particular lighting and flow.
Lighting & Water Flow
Provide low to moderate reef lighting with low to moderate water movement.
Flow should be sufficient to keep the coral clean and deliver nutrients without continuously blasting its fleshy tissue.
Gradual light acclimation is recommended when introducing the coral to a brightly illuminated reef aquarium.
Feeding & Nutrition
Yellow Submarine Dipsastraea receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis but can benefit from occasional supplemental feeding.
Small portions of appropriately sized meaty reef foods or quality LPS coral foods may be offered periodically when feeding tentacles are extended.
Target feeding is optional but may help support growth under favorable conditions.
Recommended Water Parameters
Temperature: 75–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm
As an LPS coral, Dipsastraea builds a calcium carbonate skeleton. Maintaining stable calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, salinity, and temperature is important for continued growth.
Compatibility
Yellow Submarine Dipsastraea works well in mixed reef aquariums when given adequate space.
Although it may look peaceful during the day, LPS corals can defend their territory and potentially sting neighboring corals.
Allow sufficient room between the colony and surrounding livestock as it grows.
