The Euphyllia cristata (Green) Ultra Frag is a captivating LPS coral prized for its vibrant green hues and unique polyp structure. This Tank-Bred specimen is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring robust health and adaptability for marine reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the polyps without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in a mid-level area of the aquarium, allowing sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals, so maintain adequate spacing.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging damage.
Origin: Tank-Bred (cultured under controlled aquaculture conditions).
Maximum Size: Typically grows to medium size in captivity, with heads reaching up to 15 cm.
