Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni (Ultra) | XL

Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni Ultra is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its bold, fleshy polyps and vibrant colouration. This Extra Large specimen is ideal for experienced marine hobbyists looking to add a dramatic focal point to their reef aquarium.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colours. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to ensure adequate gas exchange and waste removal without damaging the delicate polyps.

Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower rockwork with sufficient space around it. Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni can extend sweeper tentacles, so allow ample clearance from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression.

Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding of 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 corals.

Maintain stable marine aquarium conditions with temperature around 24-26°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, and stable alkalinity and calcium levels for best results.
