Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni Ultra frag is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and unique skeletal structure. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions to ensure health and vitality, making it an excellent choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to enhance their reef display.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This coral requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 75-150 µmol/m²/s will support optimal growth and coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient delivery and waste removal.
Placement: Position this frag on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the reef tank. Ensure sufficient space around it to avoid aggression with neighbouring corals, as Symphyllia can extend sweeper tentacles.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Symphyllia wilsoni benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week to promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can exhibit territorial behaviour towards nearby corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; typically grows to moderate sizes as an LPS coral.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger to maintain stable water conditions.
Regular monitoring of water parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and nitrates is essential to maintain coral health. Avoid rapid changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
