Euphyllia paradivisa (Green) (Ultra)

Euphyllia paradivisa (Green) Ultra Large is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and elegant branching structure. This Ultra variant features enhanced colour vibrancy and polyp extension, making it a standout addition to mature reef aquariums.

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 to encourage polyp movement without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong direct currents.

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 interactions, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its specific lighting and flow needs and sensitivity to water quality fluctuations.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or those with long sweeper tentacles.

Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.

Water Parameters: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels.

This large Euphyllia paradivisa Ultra coral is a captivating choice for those looking to enhance their reef display with dynamic movement and rich green hues.
