Porites cylindrica (Yellow) | XXXL

Porites cylindrica (Yellow) is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant yellow coloration and robust branching structure. This XXXL specimen offers a substantial and eye-catching addition to 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 water flow is ideal to ensure healthy tissue without causing damage to the delicate polyps. Avoid direct strong currents that may stress the coral.

Placement: Position this coral in the middle to upper regions of the tank where it can receive adequate light and flow. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and care requirements. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance are essential.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth. Compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates.

Feeding: While Porites cylindrica primarily relies on photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific supplements can support growth.

This XXXL Porites cylindrica is a premium choice for UK marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to enhance their reef display with a durable and visually striking LPS coral.
