The **Tongue Coral** is a rare sight in home aquariums. Predominantly found in the Indo-Pacific, these elongated corals resemble a tongue. They are generally flat and display green and tan hues. Occasionally, **Tongue Corals** may branch out, forming x and y shapes.
Position your **Tongue Coral** at the tank's base, ensuring moderate water flow and moderate to high lighting. After a day or two, observe for any stress indicators. If stress is evident, adjust the coral's position slightly until it appears content.
Being semi-aggressive, **Tongue Corals** should not be placed too close to other corals. Their long tentacles emerge at night and can sting nearby corals. Keep this in mind when positioning your **Tongue Coral**.
Feeding your **Tongue Coral** with meaty foods like mysis, baby brine shrimp, and micro-plankton during the evening will promote health and happiness. Regular water changes or dosing to replenish trace elements will also be beneficial.
