Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Dragon Soul coral, is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its elegant, elongated tentacles that sway gracefully in the aquarium current. This tiny Tank-Bred specimen is ideal for hobbyists seeking to add dynamic movement and vibrant texture to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing 100-150 PAR, to maintain optimal health and coloration without causing stress.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to encourage natural tentacle movement while preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Position the coral in a location with adequate space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent specimens. Mid to lower tank placement is often preferred.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Compatible with peaceful reef fish and invertebrates.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Tank Requirements: Minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide stable water parameters and sufficient space.
This tiny Tank-Bred Dragon Soul coral offers a premium addition to any marine aquarium, combining beauty with manageable care requirements.
