Euphyllia glabrescens (Blueberry) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and captivating blue hues. This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point in mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and 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 this coral in a location with enough space to accommodate its extended tentacles. Ensure it is placed away from aggressive neighbours to prevent stinging interactions.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced hobbyists will find this coral rewarding, as it requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Avoid placing near small, delicate corals that may be harmed by its sweeper tentacles.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and colour.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 90 litres (approximately 24 gallons) is recommended to provide sufficient space and stable conditions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Can reach up to 30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
