Green Bubble Hard Coral (Plerogyra sp.)

(Also known as Green Bubble Coral, Pearl Coral, or Grape Coral)

Overview

The Green Bubble Coral (Plerogyra sp.) is a captivating large-polyp stony (LPS) coral recognised for its large, inflated bubble-like vesicles that shimmer with a distinctive green or metallic hue under aquarium lighting. Each bubble expands during the day to absorb light and contracts at night to reveal long, feeding tentacles. This coral’s unique texture, colour, and motion make it a standout centrepiece in any reef aquarium. While hardy and forgiving, Plerogyra requires low flow, moderate light, and ample space due to its delicate tissue and long sweeper tentacles.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Coral Sea, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, and the Great Barrier Reef. Found in sheltered reef slopes and lagoon environments, often attached to rubble or within crevices where flow and light are moderate.

Feeding

The Green Bubble Coral is photosynthetic, containing zooxanthellae that supply most of its nutritional needs. Supplemental feeding encourages growth, tissue expansion, and vibrant colour. Offer 1–2 feedings per week of:

  • Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or finely chopped seafood
  • Marine snow or coral plankton blends
  • LPS-specific coral foods

Feed when tentacles are visible (usually after lights dim). Gently target feed near extended polyps for best results.

Lighting

Low to moderate lighting.Plerogyra prefers subdued, indirect illumination to prevent bleaching or overexposure.

  • PAR range: 75–150 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Avoid direct, intense light; shaded or lower-tank areas are ideal.
  • Blue and actinic lighting enhances its fluorescent green glow.
Water Flow

Low to moderate, indirect flow. Gentle, consistent movement helps remove debris without damaging the inflated vesicles. Strong flow can tear the coral’s delicate tissue or cause it to retract for prolonged periods.

Placement
  • Place on sandy substrate or in low-flow, shaded areas of the lower rockwork.
  • Ensure plenty of space (15–20 cm / 6–8 inches) around the coral — it extends long, stinging sweeper tentacles at night.
  • Avoid sharp rock edges that could puncture its soft bubbles.
Tank Mates

Reef safe with caution. Compatible with:

  • Peaceful reef fish (clownfish, gobies, tangs, blennies, etc.)
  • Reef-safe invertebrates such as snails, hermits, and shrimp
  • Other LPS and soft corals placed at a safe distance

Avoid:

  • Aggressive or stinging corals (e.g., Euphyllia, Galaxea, Hydnophora)
  • Butterflyfish, large angelfish, or puffers that may nip at its tissue
Aggression

Moderately aggressive. At night, Plerogyra extends long, powerful sweeper tentacles capable of stinging and damaging nearby corals. Provide ample spacing to prevent chemical or physical conflict.

Experience Level

Beginner to intermediate. Hardy and adaptable when placed correctly, the Green Bubble Coral is suitable for aquarists with basic LPS experience. It thrives in stable reef environments with consistent lighting, gentle flow, and good water quality.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Hardness (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 75 gallons (280L) for stability and adequate spacing

Maintain stable alkalinity and calcium to support skeletal health and bubble tissue regeneration.

Reef Compatibility

Reef safe with caution. The Green Bubble Coral is a beautiful, peaceful showpiece that adds volume, texture, and colour to LPS or mixed reefs. With careful placement and moderate lighting, it can thrive for years, inflating fully each day to display its radiant green shimmer.

Great for oily acne-prone skin
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have oily, acne-prone skin, and this sunscreen has worked really well for me. It doesn’t feel overly greasy or too dry, and it sits nicely on my skin without making my face feel heavy. I’ve been using it for a long time, and honestly, it’s the only sunscreen I keep going back to because it works so well with my skin. It feels comfortable for daily use and gives good protection without causing extra breakouts for me.

Great for oily skin!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Definitely leaves white cast, I’m pretty fair skinned, makes me look like a ghost. Just rub it in your hands first, breaks into the mineral so minimize the white cast look. It feels lightweight and as someone with pretty oily skin it does a pretty good job!

Great for Oily, Rash-Prone Skin, But Be Wary of the Residue
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is a really solid option if you have sensitive, rash-prone, and oily skin like mine. I’ve found it’s one of the few sunscreens that doesn't cause any irritation, which is a huge benefit for me. On top of that, it leaves a truly matte finish, so I don't feel greasy or shiny throughout the day. The only reason I can't give it five stars is that it leaves behind small, dried white bits on my face. They can be a bit annoying and make the application look a little messy. Overall, it's a good sunscreen that works well with my skin type, but the white residue is a definite drawback.

This stuff is magic!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I farm and garden. I spend hours outdoors in the summer, and for years, I’ve hated wearing sunscreen because it made my face feel hot and sticky. This sunscreen is none of that. I received a small sample tube of it from the dermatologist and instantly fell in love with it. It goes on smooth and covers well. But the thing I love about it is that I don’t feel like I’m wearing sunscreen once it absorbs into my skin. I forget about it! It doesn’t combine with my sweat and run into my eyes, making them sting. It doesn’t irritate sensitive skin or clog my pores. This stuff is magic and I will be using it daily. It’s not the least expensive sunscreen out there, but it’s worth it!
