Platygyra spp. is a genus of large polyp stony (LPS) corals known for their distinctive maze-like skeletal patterns and vibrant colours. This Extra Extra Large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to support healthy growth without causing bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable, lower to mid-level rockwork area. Ensure sufficient space around it to prevent aggression or stinging of neighbouring corals, as Platygyra spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or those sensitive to sweeper tentacles.
Additional Notes: As this listing is to genus level, specific origin and maximum size details are not provided. Best practice is to maintain stable marine conditions with regular water testing.
