The Hydnophora spp. (Green) is an impressive large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant green coloration and distinctive, robust skeletal structure. This extra extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient delivery and waste removal.
Placement: Position this coral in a stable location with enough space to accommodate its growth and avoid contact with neighbouring corals, as it can exhibit aggressive tendencies through sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and care requirements.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggression. Avoid placing near delicate or slow-growing species.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid feeds.
Additional Notes: Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential to support the health and vibrancy of this coral.
