waterfaller1 this is the best description I could find on Merulina:
Merulina Coral
(Merulina sp.)
Quick Stats
Care Level: Difficult
Light: High
Water Flow: Medium
Placement: Middle to Top
Tank Conditions: 72-78°F; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12
Color Form: Blue, Brown, Cream, Green, Pink, Violet
Dominance: Peaceful
Reef Compatible: Yes
Ideal Supplements: Calcium, Trace Elements
Origin: Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Red Sea
Family: Merulinidae
The Merulina Coral is a small polyp stony (SPS) coral also known as Lettuce, Cabbage, Ridge, or Ruffled Coral. Most aquarists will receive the species M. ampliata that commonly lives in lagoons and other sheltered areas of the reef. Merulina Coral colonies begin life as an encrusting coral. With time, growth, and prevailing conditions, they start to develop the more spectacular structures that have made them famous with reef aquarists everywhere. It is normal to see the intricate skeleton frame through its skin. Fan-like plates are usually the first to form. More plates then form in the center of the fan, creating a ruffled appearance that truly resembles a head of cabbage or lettuce.
