Echinopora lamellosa is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its intricate plate-like growth and vibrant colours. This premium cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, acclimatised coral suitable for marine reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems providing 100-150 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the coral clean and promote healthy polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this frag on stable rockwork in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced hobbyists will find this coral rewarding with consistent water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and colour.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable marine conditions: temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.025-1.026, pH 8.1-8.4, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
