Euphyllia divisa (Green) is a popular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its unique branching tentacles and vibrant green hues. This medium-sized specimen is an excellent addition to established reef aquariums, offering both visual appeal and moderate care requirements.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support healthy growth and maintain vibrant colouration. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable, with acclimation advised to prevent photoinhibition.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong direct currents that may stress the coral.
Placement: Position this coral in a mid to lower section of the tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia divisa has sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals, so maintain at least 10-15 cm clearance.
Care Level: Intermediate. Regular monitoring of water parameters and stable conditions will promote optimal health.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution. Its sweeper tentacles can harm nearby corals, so careful placement is essential.
With proper husbandry, this medium Euphyllia divisa will thrive and become a stunning focal point in your marine aquarium.
