Placement: Place Trachyphyllia spp. on the substrate or lower rockwork where it can expand fully without competition. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Trachyphyllia spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and colour.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow.
