The Jason Fox Burning Banana Stylocoeniella is a small-polyp stony (SPS) coral with intense yellow tissue and contrasting red polyps. It’s compact, hardy for an SPS, and perfect for adding a bright focal point to your reef.

Tank Placement & Lighting

This coral does best when you treat it like a mid-to-high light SPS, but avoid blasting it from day one.

• PAR range: Aim for 150–250 PAR once acclimated.
• Placement: Rockwork in the upper-middle third of the tank, with good flow around it.
• Light acclimation: Start lower or shaded and move it up over 2–3 weeks to prevent bleaching.

Watch the color: if it browns out, it may want a bit more light; if it pales, back the intensity down.

Flow, Parameters & Feeding

Stylocoeniella loves strong, indirect flow that keeps detritus off the tissue.

• Flow: Random, turbulent flow; avoid a powerhead pointed directly at the colony.
• Temperature: 24–26°C (75–78°F).
• Alkalinity: 8–9.5 dKH, stable.
• Calcium & magnesium: ~420 ppm Ca, 1300–1400 ppm Mg.
• Nutrients: Nitrate 5–15 ppm, phosphate 0.03–0.1 ppm to keep color rich.

Feeding & Day-to-Day Care

While it can live off light and dissolved nutrients, targeted feeding helps growth and color.

• Once or twice weekly, broadcast-feed a fine SPS food or reef roids with pumps on low.
• Keep the base clean; use a turkey baster to blow off detritus during maintenance.
• Frag with a bone cutter at the base once it encrusts well; glue frags to clean, dry plugs for best take.

Consistent stability beats perfection. If your parameters are steady and within range, the Jason Fox Burning Banana Stylocoeniella will reward you with dense growth and blazing color.
