Echinophyllia spp. (Premium) Small is a visually striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral from the family Pectiniidae. Known for its vibrant colours and textured appearance, this coral adds dynamic interest to marine reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure adequate nutrient delivery without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the lower to middle sections of the aquarium. Provide sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, Echinophyllia spp. benefit from occasional target feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Origin & Size: Origin and maximum size vary within the genus; therefore, conservative husbandry practices are advised.
