Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni Ultra XXXL is a magnificent large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its bold colours and unique skeletal structure. This XXXL specimen is perfect for experienced reef keepers looking to add a dramatic focal point to their marine aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to low lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and prevent bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to mid-level rockwork, allowing sufficient space around it to prevent aggression with neighbouring corals. Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain at least 10-15 cm clearance from other 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 per week.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Reef safe with caution; ensure adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare. Compatible with peaceful reef inhabitants.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended 120 litres or larger to accommodate growth and maintain water quality.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Can grow to approximately 20-30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
