Pipe-Organ Corals
Pipe Organ Corals of the Genus Tubipora are a unique soft coral in that they grow a network of calcium-based tubes that take on a bright red color. The red tubes resemble pipe organs. While most soft corals are very hardy, pipe organ corals are a little on the sensitive side and require clean water with good flow. In poor conditions, their beautiful red pipes collect algae readily which can strangle out the coral.
