Euphyllia paraancora (Orange-Pink) is a premium large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and distinctive tentacle structure. This tank-bred frag offers a spectacular splash of orange-pink to mature reef aquariums, making it a sought-after specimen for hobbyists with intermediate to advanced experience.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and polyp extension. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable, with gradual acclimation advised to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Too strong a current can cause polyp retraction, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank, ensuring adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals.
Care Level: Moderate. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential for long-term health.
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 delicate or slow-growing corals.
Additional Notes: This frag is supplied as a single head, cultivated under controlled conditions to ensure quality and sustainability.
