Echinophyllia spp. (Ultra) are captivating large polyp stony (LPS) corals prized for their vivid colours and textured appearance. This small variant is suitable for marine reef aquariums where moderate care and attention to environmental conditions are provided.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure nutrient exchange without causing tissue damage. Avoid direct strong currents that may stress the coral.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the mid to lower regions of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for growth.
Care Tips: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes. Supplementation with calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium supports skeletal growth. Feeding with small meaty foods or coral-specific supplements can enhance health but is not mandatory.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near aggressive species that may sting or overshadow it.
