The **Button Polyps** are a visually striking and vibrant type of polyp coral. These corals exhibit a wide range of colors, including shades of red, green, and yellow. They grow individually, attaching themselves to rocks, and can quickly expand to cover your aquarium's rock surfaces.
Position **Button Polyps** in the middle section of your aquarium, as they thrive in moderate water flow and lighting conditions. To ensure optimal placement, observe the coral for a few days after positioning. If the polyps extend well, the location is suitable. If they appear stressed, adjust their position slightly until they seem content.
**Button Polyps** are semi-aggressive and can sting nearby corals, though the stings are generally mild. Consider this when choosing their placement to avoid aggravating other corals.
These corals primarily obtain nutrition through photosynthesis and typically require minimal additional feeding. If desired, supplement their diet with small meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp, along with micro-plankton, preferably during the evening.
