Lobophytum spp. (Fluor Green) | XL

Lobophytum spp. (Fluor Green) is a captivating soft leather coral known for its bright fluorescent green coloration, adding vivid contrast to mature reef tanks. This extra large specimen is suitable for marine aquarists with some experience in coral husbandry.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vibrant colour without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of approximately 50-100 are ideal.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep the coral healthy by preventing detritus accumulation while avoiding tissue damage.

Placement: Position the coral on stable rockwork in a mid to lower section of the aquarium to balance light exposure and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for expansion.

Care Level: Moderate care requirements; suitable for aquarists familiar with soft coral maintenance.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.

Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional target feeding of planktonic foods or coral supplements.

Additional Notes: Regular water parameter monitoring is essential to maintain stable conditions. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to prevent stress.
