Echinopora requires intense lighting for the overall health and best coloration. Reef experts have found that the lighting intensities offered to the Echinopora coral directly affected the intensity, or lack thereof, of the coral. Metal halide lighting or a large bank of output fluorescent or compact fluorescent bulbs will dictate the color intensity of the Echinopora. If not provided proper lighting, the colors of the Echinopora may fade, or even perish if they do not receive enough energy. . more »

Echinopora Lamellosa relies heavily on the products of their zooxanthellae. This type of stony coral may benefit from the addition of phytoplankton as a food source. While Echinopora itself may consume the phytoplankton, the real benefit is the increased population of rotifers that feed on the phytoplankton. Rotifers make a great meal for a vast array of corals. more »
