Euphyllia glabrescens (Blueberry) is a captivating large-polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive elongated tentacles and beautiful blue hues. This cultured frag is carefully grown to ensure optimal health and vibrant colouration, making it an excellent addition to any marine reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid colours and promote healthy growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position the frag in a location with adequate space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia glabrescens can exhibit aggressive sweeper tentacles. Mid to lower areas of the tank are preferred.
Care Level: Moderate care is required, with stable water parameters and regular monitoring to ensure optimal health.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Suitable for mixed reef tanks with peaceful fish and invertebrates.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional target feeding with meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and colour.
This frag is a cultured specimen, grown under controlled conditions to reduce environmental impact and improve acclimation success in home aquariums.
