Tubastrea faulkneri (Yellow) frag is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking bright yellow polyps that add a splash of colour to any marine reef aquarium. This frag is cultured and tank-bred, ensuring a healthy specimen acclimatised to aquarium life.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for Tubastrea faulkneri. Avoid intense direct light as it can cause stress or bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to keep the coral healthy and encourage polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in shaded or semi-shaded areas of the tank, ideally on rockwork or frag plugs with enough space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as it can be aggressive.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Tubastrea faulkneri can extend sweeper tentacles and may sting nearby corals, so maintain sufficient distance.
Diet: While photosynthetic, this coral benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide stable water parameters and space for growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 10 cm in diameter per colony under optimal conditions.
