The Euphyllia cristata (Super Ultra) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its unique, extended tentacles and vibrant colours. This frag is cultured and grown under controlled conditions, ensuring a healthy specimen suitable for experienced marine aquarists.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, ideally using LED or T5 systems that provide a balanced spectrum to enhance its natural colours without causing stress.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles, promoting health and preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in a location with adequate space to prevent aggressive interactions with neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia species have sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby specimens. Mid to lower tank placement is often preferred.
Care Level: Moderate care requirements; suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Not aggressive towards fish or invertebrates.
Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential for optimal health. Supplementation with calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium supports skeletal growth.
