The Flower Pot Coral is also known as Daisy Coral, Ball Coral, or Sunflower Coral. Its flower-like nickname comes from the appearance it takes when all its polyps are fully extended, resembling a bouquet of flowers. This rounded or ball-shaped variety is distinct from its branching relatives. As it can be aggressive, it is important to provide adequate space between this coral and its neighbors. Its polyps are capable of extending significantly beyond its base, potentially stinging other corals in the aquarium.

This coral has a moderate care level, requiring moderate lighting and water flow within the aquarium. To maintain its health, ensure that the water is supplemented with calcium, strontium, and other essential trace elements.

The symbiotic algae, zooxanthellae, housed within its tissue, supplies most of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis. However, it can also benefit from supplemental feeding with micro-plankton or brine shrimp. In the absence of an anemone, clownfish may interact with the Flower Pot Coral, playing among its polyps in a reef aquarium.
