The Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Green) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant green tentacles and distinctive appearance. This premium small specimen is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a splash of colour and movement to their reef setup.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vibrant colours and health. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong currents can damage the delicate tentacles, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position this coral in a location with adequate space to allow its tentacles to expand without touching neighbouring corals, as it can be aggressive. Mid to lower areas of the tank often work well.
Care Level: Intermediate. This species requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging and aggression.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide sufficient space and stable water conditions.
Origin and maximum size details are not provided; however, best practice husbandry ensures optimal growth and health.
