Husbandry 

Commonly known as thorn coral, stylocoeniella are slightly more demanding of water conditions than some SPS coral. Like other SPS, the stylocoeniella require stable alkalinity, calcium and nutrient levels to thrive in the reef aquarium. Stylocoeniella will accept small suspended particulate food. 

Lighting and Waterflow

Stylocoeniella is a semi-cryptic low light coral that seems to need a fuller spectrum. Many times they thrive even in shade or on the back wall of aquariums. As with other SPS corals, stylocoeniella will require higher water flow.

Placement

They should be placed near the bottom of aquariums on rock that they may encrust and cover. Take care to keep LPS and other more aggressive corals away.
