The $10 Box & Handling Fee is charged per box, not per coral. It covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely. UPS Next Day Air is one flat livestock shipping charge per order, the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another box fee or change the shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Florida: $30 UPS Next Day Air livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship UPS Next Day Air for a flat $30, plus the $10 Box & Handling Fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard UPS Next Day Air rate. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Livestock ships UPS Next Day Air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. We ship livestock within the continental U.S. only. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

Description

Pearl Bubble Coral is a fleshy LPS coral sold for its pale, inflated daytime vesicles and contrasting nighttime feeding tentacles.

The common name can refer to closely related bubble-coral genera, so this listing does not assign a species without confirmed provenance. The expanded tissue is delicate and can tear against sharp rock or under direct pump output. Give the coral a secure, smooth base and room for nighttime sweepers.

Care Guide

Care Level: Intermediate
Lighting: Low to moderate (50–100 PAR); acclimate gradually
Flow: Low to moderate, gentle and indirect; the vesicles should inflate without being whipped
Placement: Open sand bed or a secure, smooth lower-rock position
Feeding: Photosynthetic; optional small meaty foods one to two times weekly after feeding tentacles appear
Aggression: Aggressive; begin with at least 6 inches beyond the fully inflated tissue and check sweeper reach after dark

Shipping: Livestock ships UPS Next Day Air from Key West on our regular Tuesday and Wednesday shipping schedule.
