Add vibrant color and delicate movement to your reef with the Green Pipe Organ Coral (Tubipora musica). This unusual soft coral features bright green polyps growing from a distinctive network of calcium-based tubes.
Although its skeletal structure can make it look like a stony coral, Pipe Organ Coral is actually classified as a soft coral. Its combination of flowing polyps and structured growth makes it a unique addition to a mixed reef.
This listing is for one Small Green Pipe Organ Coral frag.

Placement & Growth
Place the Green Pipe Organ Coral on stable rockwork where it receives adequate lighting and gentle to moderate water movement.
Unlike aggressive encrusting soft corals such as Green Star Polyps, Pipe Organ Coral develops its characteristic tubular skeletal structure as the colony grows. It can make an excellent choice for filling an open section of rockwork while adding movement to the reef.
Its skeleton is relatively delicate, so handle the coral carefully when placing or relocating it. Pipe Organ Coral also benefits from sufficient flow to prevent detritus and algae from accumulating around its tubes.
Lighting & Water Flow
Provide low to moderate lighting and low to moderate water flow.
Water movement should keep the polyps gently moving and help prevent debris from settling within the colony without subjecting the coral to strong, direct flow.
Feeding & Nutrition
Green Pipe Organ Coral receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis.
It may also benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with appropriately sized foods intended for filter-feeding reef inhabitants.
Maintaining stable reef parameters and good water quality is important for healthy growth.
Recommended Water Parameters
Temperature: 74–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Because Pipe Organ Coral produces a calcium-based skeleton, maintaining appropriate calcium and alkalinity levels is especially important.
