Trachyphyllia spp. (Green) | XL

Trachyphyllia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green hues and fleshy, brain-like polyps. This extra large specimen makes a striking addition to mature reef aquariums, offering both colour and texture diversity.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colouration. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.

Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is ideal to gently remove detritus without damaging the delicate polyps.

Placement: Position on the substrate or lower rockwork with ample space around it to prevent aggression or damage to neighbouring corals. This species can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain adequate spacing.

Diet: While photosynthetic, Trachyphyllia spp. benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to support growth.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid conflicts.

Care Level: Moderate care requirements; suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.

Additional Notes: This coral is sensitive to rapid water parameter changes. Maintain stable conditions with regular water testing and quality maintenance.
