Euphyllia yaeyamaensis, commonly known as the Orange-Yellow Euphyllia, is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant and warm colouration. This tiny Tank-Bred specimen is an excellent choice for marine aquarists seeking to add a splash of colour and movement to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid orange-yellow tones without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure the coral’s delicate polyps can extend fully without damage. Avoid strong currents that may cause tissue recession.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium, allowing adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia species have sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals, so a minimum spacing of 10-15 cm is advisable.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular monitoring are essential for optimal health.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals that may overshadow or harm it.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to moderate sizes, but as a tiny specimen, it will require time to reach full size.
Enhance your marine aquarium with this exquisite tiny Tank-Bred Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Orange-Yellow), combining beauty and manageable care for a thriving reef environment.
