Coral question

[right4ngle]

So I got this coral from my local fish store and I don’t know what it is and if it’s toxic I’ve looked everywhere they told me it was a candy cane but it’s black and can’t find any black candy canes

hi welcome to the reef going to love it here!!
lots of fun/info/fun/help/fun.... :)
black sun coral...

Thanks a lot for the welcoming, by chance do you know if black sun coral is toxic/venomous or if the tentacles sting?

 

[right4ngle]

No, But I still wouldn’t advise eating it or anything XD even if it was toxic like zoanthids or palythoas, instances where people are harmed are very very rare

Thank u very much!!

i don't believe so,but with any coral,use caution,beware open cuts on hands etc,wash after handling.

Welcome to the reef! That’s a cool looking frag, but sounds like it’s gonna be a bit tougher to care for than expected. Good luck and keep us updated!

Welcome! Just a heads up, I’m pretty sure sun corals are non-photosynthetic (pretty ironic) so be sure to dose phyto/food :)

Black suns are hardy, require Low light And much more expensive
