Symphyllia wilsoni (formerly Australophyllia wilsoni) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and distinctive fleshy polyps. This tank-bred frag is an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking to add texture and colour to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate care requirements make this coral suitable for intermediate aquarists.
Lighting: Prefers moderate lighting conditions. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide balanced PAR levels are ideal to maintain healthy growth and vibrant colours.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Place on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the aquarium to avoid excessive light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist peacefully with other LPS and soft corals but requires room to expand.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and space for growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to approximately 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
This frag is grown under controlled conditions to ensure health and acclimatisation to captive reef environments, making it an excellent addition to your marine aquarium.
