Cyphastrea is also referred to as a meteor coral, but most reefers these days simply refer to it by its scientific name. The most common color variant of Cyphastrea is a blue base with red polyps. This variant is referred to as Meteor Shower Cyphastrea. However, it turns out there are many rare color variants of this beautiful coral that are just as spectacular. Cyphastrea is a coral that requires very little light. You should try to find as dark a spot as possible to place this particular coral.
