Barabattoia amicorum (Premium) Large is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral belonging to the Faviidae family. Known for its intricate skeletal structure and vibrant colours, this coral makes a striking centrepiece in mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support the coral’s photosynthetic needs, ideally using LED or T5 lighting systems designed for reef tanks.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the mid to lower sections of the tank, allowing sufficient space to prevent aggression with neighbouring corals.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists due to its specific husbandry requirements.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging or overgrowth of adjacent corals.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes. Avoid rapid changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
