Representative Cyphastreaphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A Cyphastrea named for its field of bright orange polyps that look like a patch of little pumpkins over a darker base. Cheerful, warm-toned and very approachable.
📜 Backstory
Pumpkin Patch Cyphastrea is widely traded and sold through shops such as TankStop, Vivid Aquariums and Sea Dwelling Creatures (SDC Pumpkin Patch). It is a common, descriptively named orange morph with no single attributed originator, so lineage is considered open/debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
Low-to-moderate light and gentle flow on a lower rock; keep light modest so the orange polyps stay bright rather than browning.
