The aquarium type that recreates these reef communities we call Bali Reef. A Bali Reef is particularly suitable for the dedicated beginner. The typical and species-rich mixture of different corals, paired with a selected fish population, makes the maintenance quite easy. This biotope type depends on the variety of different coral and fish species that do not compete to each other, but interact as positively as possible. Due to their robustness and undemanding nature, these animals are easy to care for.

Bali Reef – the entire biodiversity of tropical reefs

The biotope type Bali Reef contains the entire biodiversity of tropical coral reefs. On top at the reef edge, fast-growing acroporids stretch their branches towards the light, and the further down the outer reef wall you look, the larger the polyps of the hard corals will get. Here you find wide, flat Fungia corals or Euphyllia heads that fascinate with their strong green fluorescence, or proliferating Duncanopsammia with thick, fleshy polyps. In between, about halfway up, here and there a leather coral stretches its polyps into the open water, and there is also room for symbiotic gorgonians or a Litophyton soft coral. Between the corals, you can see bright orange anthias, yellow Hawaiian yellow tangs and also some colorful butterfly fish. The fact that this Bali Reef is also home to Caribbean species like royal grammas does not disturb this typical beginner’s tank at all, just like the Caribbean gorgonions. Any species looking for a peaceful coexistence is welcome here.
