Euphyllia ancora (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and unique hammer-shaped polyps. This premium medium-sized specimen is perfect for marine aquarists looking to add dynamic movement and colour to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and health. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong direct currents may cause tissue damage, while too little flow can lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank to allow its tentacles to extend freely without touching neighbouring corals. Adequate spacing is essential to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care Level: Moderate. Euphyllia ancora requires stable water parameters and regular maintenance but is generally hardy once acclimated.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near aggressive species that may harm its delicate polyps.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
With proper care, this premium Euphyllia ancora will thrive and become a striking focal point in your marine aquarium.
