Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Dragon Soul coral, is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its elegant, elongated tentacles that sway gracefully in the aquarium current. This large specimen offers a dramatic focal point in any mature reef tank.
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 move the tentacles without causing damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position the coral in a location with enough space to accommodate its long, sweeping tentacles. Maintain adequate distance from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Euphyllia species can exhibit sweeper tentacle stings.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance to thrive.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near delicate or slow-growing species.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Tank Requirements: Minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide sufficient space and stable conditions.
This large Euphyllia glabrescens specimen is sourced responsibly and is an excellent addition for marine hobbyists looking to enhance their reef display with a dynamic and visually striking coral.
