Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Dragon Soul coral, is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its elegant, elongated tentacles that sway gracefully in the aquarium current. This frag offers a vibrant display of colour and movement, making it a prized specimen for marine reef enthusiasts.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended. This coral requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is ideal, such as T5, LED, or metal halide systems, to support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is preferred to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position this frag in a mid to lower area of the reef tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia glabrescens has sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals, so maintain at least 10-15cm clearance.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional target feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist with other reef inhabitants but requires careful placement to avoid stinging neighbours.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water conditions and space for growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30cm (12 inches) in head diameter under optimal conditions.
This frag is DJM grown, ensuring healthy, sustainably cultured stock ideal for UK marine aquarium systems.
