Lithophyton spp. are a genus of leather corals prized for their textured, leathery appearance and robust nature. This Grade A extra large specimen offers a substantial and impressive addition to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy pigmentation and growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the coral clean and encourage polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position Lithophyton spp. on stable rockwork with enough space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as it can exhibit mild aggression. Ensure good water quality and stable parameters.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to size and care requirements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid competition and damage.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters and stable conditions will support long-term health. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow.
