"Misellaneous Corals" is a term that can encompass a variety of coral types that don't neatly fit into the common categories of Large Polyp Stony (LPS), Small Polyp Stony (SPS), and soft corals. These can include less common or more unique species, each with its own specific characteristics and care requirements. Examples might include:
Sun Corals (Tubastraea): These are non-photosynthetic corals known for their bright, sun-like polyps. They require regular feedings of meaty foods as they do not rely on light for nourishment.
Cup Corals (Scleractinia): Often found in deeper or shaded areas in the wild, these corals have distinct skeletal structures and can be quite colorful. They are more commonly seen in advanced hobbyist tanks.
Gorgonians (Subclass Octocorallia): These are soft, tree-like corals that can add height and a unique texture to an aquarium. They range from photosynthetic to non-photosynthetic species and can have specific flow and lighting needs.
