Euphyllia glabrescens (Green) Ultra Frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its striking green tentacles and elegant, flowing appearance. This Tank-Bred frag offers a sustainable and healthy option for reef keepers seeking to enhance their marine aquarium with vibrant colour and dynamic movement.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Euphyllia glabrescens thrives under moderate lighting conditions, such as T5 fluorescents or LED setups designed for reef tanks. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to encourage natural polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in mid to lower areas of the aquarium where it has ample space to extend its tentacles without touching neighbouring corals, as it can exhibit aggressive sweeper tentacles.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Euphyllia glabrescens can be aggressive towards nearby corals, so maintain sufficient distance to prevent stinging.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide stable water parameters and space for growth.
Origin: Tank-Bred (cultured), ensuring ethical sourcing and enhanced acclimation to aquarium conditions.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to around 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
This frag is carefully grown by DJM Cultured Corals, ensuring robust health and excellent colouration. It is an excellent choice for reef enthusiasts looking to add movement and a splash of green to their aquascape.
