Euphyllia paraancora (Green) (Ultra) (p/h) | T

Euphyllia paraancora (Green) Ultra is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and unique ultra morph. This tiny, tank-bred specimen is perfect for marine aquarists seeking to add dynamic movement and colour to their reef tanks.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid colouration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 µmol/m²/s are ideal.

Water Flow: Euphyllia paraancora thrives under gentle to moderate water flow. This ensures proper gas exchange and waste removal while preventing damage to its delicate polyps.

Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium to avoid excessive light intensity and strong currents. Provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as its sweeper tentacles can sting nearby species.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular monitoring of water parameters and stable conditions will promote healthy growth.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near highly aggressive corals or those sensitive to sweeper tentacles.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, benefiting from strong lighting and supplemented by occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.

Origin: Tank-bred in controlled aquaculture facilities, ensuring sustainability and reduced wild collection impact.

Maximum Size: Typically grows to moderate sizes over time; exact maximum size varies but generally reaches 15-20 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
