The Euphyllia paraancora (Yellow-Gold) is a visually striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant yellow-gold colouring and distinctive tentacle structure. This tiny, tank-bred specimen is an excellent choice for marine aquarists seeking to add colour and movement to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colouration. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the coral’s tentacles without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in a location with adequate space to prevent aggressive interactions with neighbouring corals. Euphyllia paraancora is known for its sweeper tentacles, so maintain a minimum of 10cm clearance from other corals.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals.
This tiny, tank-bred Euphyllia paraancora offers a premium addition to your marine aquarium, combining ease of care with spectacular aesthetics.
