Lobophyllia spp. (Green) Premium – XXXXL is a large, visually captivating LPS coral prized for its bold green hues and fleshy polyp formations. This specimen is perfect for experienced marine aquarists with spacious reef tanks, looking to add a dramatic focal point.
Care Level: Moderate. Lobophyllia spp. require stable water parameters and consistent maintenance to thrive.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, ideally provided by LED or T5 fixtures that support coral growth without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement is best to ensure adequate gas exchange and nutrient delivery while avoiding tissue damage.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the tank where it can expand without interference. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and tissue damage.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to support growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Lobophyllia spp. can exhibit aggressive behaviour through sweeper tentacles, so ensure sufficient distance from other corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Variable, but specimens can reach substantial sizes in optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 150 litres or larger due to size and care requirements.
Regular water testing and stable parameters are essential for long-term health. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water flow to prevent stress. This premium XXXXL specimen is ideal for hobbyists seeking a bold, impressive coral centerpiece.
