Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its bold, fleshy polyps and vibrant colours. This XXL specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is ideal, allowing the polyps to extend fully without damage from strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable substrate or rockwork with sufficient space around it to prevent aggression towards neighbouring corals. It is best placed in the middle to lower regions of the tank.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth. Suitable for experienced hobbyists familiar with LPS coral care.
Feeding: While Symphyllia wilsoni benefits from photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced care is advised due to its size and specific husbandry requirements.
