The Platygyra spp. (Ultra) is a captivating large LPS coral from the Faviidae family, prized for its intricate maze-like skeletal structure and vibrant colours. This coral adds both texture and visual interest to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support photosynthesis while avoiding bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently remove detritus without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the mid to lower sections of the tank, ensuring adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting fluctuations.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional target feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to enhance growth and colour.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; maintain sufficient distance from aggressive corals to prevent tissue damage.
Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth and vibrant colours in your Platygyra spp. (Ultra).
