Euphyllia glabrescens (Green) Ultra is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant green colouration. This medium-sized specimen adds dynamic movement and texture to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain its vivid green hues and encourage healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 100-250 are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage. Avoid strong direct currents that can stress the coral.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank where it can receive moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive sweeper tentacle contact.
Care Level: Moderate care level; suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular feeding will promote optimal health.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Euphyllia glabrescens can exhibit territorial behaviour through sweeper tentacles, so maintain sufficient distance from other corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 100 litres and above to provide stable water conditions and space.
