Herpolitha limax

An LPS coral in the shape of a waving tongue

The Herpolitha limax, also known as the tongue coral, is a solitary LPS coral with a elongated and slightly curved body. Its atypical shape and waving polyps allow it to capture the movement of the current and bring an original and natural aesthetic to the bottom of the aquarium.

A free, mobile, and expressive coral

This coral is not fixed: it can slowly move on the sand by slightly inflating itself. It is highly appreciated for its fluorescent shades of green, pink, purple, or multicolored, which become vibrant under actinic lighting. The Herpolitha limax immediately draws attention to the lower areas of the tank.

Ideal conditions for its health and colors

Lighting and flow

Moderate to strong lighting (120–250 PAR) is recommended to reveal the full richness of its pigments. A gentle flow is preferable to prevent the coral from flipping over or experiencing excessive pressure on its delicate tissues.

Water parameters

Like all LPS corals, the Herpolitha limax requires stable and well-balanced water:

  • Temperature: 24–26 °C
  • Salinity: 35 ppt (1.025)
  • pH: 8.0–8.4
  • KH: 7–9 dKH
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrates: 2–10 mg/L
  • Phosphates: 0.02–0.08 mg/L

A perfect coral for the bottom of the aquarium

Thanks to its elongated shape and bright colors, the Herpolitha limax is ideal for adding depth and contrast to the lower areas of your reef. It fits perfectly between rocks or on a bed of fine sand, creating a striking natural effect.

Add an exotic and dynamic touch to your reef

Farmed or responsibly cultured, the Herpolitha limax is a robust, mobile, and aesthetic coral, ideal for aquarists looking to complement their reef with an original piece, easy to maintain and rich in movement.
