Lobophyllia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green hues and distinctive fleshy polyps. This premium medium specimen is an excellent addition to mature reef tanks, offering both visual appeal and moderate husbandry demands.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, ideally provided by LED or T5 fixtures that support coral photosynthesis without causing bleaching. Avoid sudden intense light exposure.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is optimal to ensure adequate nutrient delivery while preventing tissue damage from strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the mid to lower sections of the aquarium. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Lobophyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral care. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, Lobophyllia spp. benefits from supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals that may overshadow or sting it.
Enhance your marine aquarium with this premium green Lobophyllia spp., combining striking colouration with manageable care requirements for a thriving reef environment.
