Description
Fox coral, also known as Nemenzophyllia turbida, is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral. It's a peaceful coral with no visible tentacles, making it easy to maintain and suitable for both novice and experienced reef aquarists. Fox corals thrive in moderate lighting and low water movement, and benefit from the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements in the water.
