Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Lobophyllia spp. require stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with moderate PAR levels. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate, indirect water flow to ensure adequate gas exchange without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the tank where it can expand fully without competition. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution. Lobophyllia spp. possess sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals, so maintain sufficient spacing.

Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Varies by species, but XXL specimens can reach 20-30 cm or more in diameter.
