Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Dragon Soul coral, is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, elegant tentacles and captivating movement. This Extra Large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
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 mid to lower area of the tank where it has room to expand without touching neighbouring corals. Adequate spacing is essential to prevent aggression and stinging from its sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Euphyllia glabrescens requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Not aggressive towards fish or invertebrates.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Can reach up to 30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 100 litres or larger to accommodate growth and water quality needs.
