Euphyllia divisa (Green) | L

Euphyllia divisa (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive green, branching tentacles that provide a beautiful swaying motion in reef aquariums. This large specimen is ideal for hobbyists seeking to enhance their marine tanks with a visually striking and dynamic coral.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems designed for reef aquariums. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Euphyllia divisa thrives under moderate, indirect water flow. Strong currents can cause tissue damage, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.

Placement: Position this coral in a location where it has ample space to expand its tentacles without touching neighbouring corals, as it possesses sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby species. Mid to lower areas of the tank are often suitable.

Care Level: Moderate care is required. Stable water parameters and regular monitoring are essential to maintain health and vibrancy.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent aggression towards other corals.

Additional Notes: Ensure calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels are maintained within optimal ranges for LPS corals. Regular water changes and quality filtration will support long-term health.
