The Acanthophyllia deshayesiana (Green) Ultra is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green hues and fleshy, rounded appearance. This small specimen is ideal for marine reef aquarists seeking a visually striking addition to their tank.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and health. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is ideal to gently deliver nutrients without stressing the coral’s delicate tissues.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower rockwork with ample space around it to prevent aggression towards neighbouring corals. It expands fully during the day and requires room to extend its polyps.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or damage.
Overall, the Acanthophyllia deshayesiana (Green) Ultra is a rewarding coral that adds vibrant colour and texture to a well-maintained marine aquarium.
