Trachyphyllia spp. (Green) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant green coloration and unique fleshy appearance. This small-sized specimen is perfect for hobbyists looking to add a splash of colour and texture to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Trachyphyllia spp. thrives under moderate lighting conditions. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching; LED or T5 lighting with adjustable intensity is recommended.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower rockwork where it can expand comfortably. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Trachyphyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care: This coral is considered suitable for intermediate aquarists. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may harm it.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis or brine shrimp can enhance growth and colour.
