Lobophyllia spp. (Green) Premium Extra Large is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral from the Mussidae family, prized for its vibrant green hues and robust polyp formations. This coral adds bold colour and texture to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and health. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of approximately 100-250 are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the lower to middle areas of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions, as Lobophyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels within recommended ranges for stony corals. Regular monitoring and water changes will support long-term health.
