Euphyllia glabrescens (Green) Premium Small is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing green tentacles that add dynamic movement and colour to any reef aquarium. This premium specimen is perfect for marine hobbyists looking to enhance their reef display with a visually striking and relatively hardy coral.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colouration and healthy growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable, but avoid sudden intense light exposure to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Euphyllia glabrescens thrives under moderate, indirect water flow. Strong currents can cause tissue damage, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation and poor health.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank where it can extend its tentacles freely without touching neighbouring corals. Adequate spacing is essential to prevent aggressive interactions, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
Care Level: Moderate. This coral requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring but is generally suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods to support growth and colour.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging and competition.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) to provide sufficient space for growth and water quality stability.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically up to 30 cm (12 inches) in tentacle extension under optimal conditions.
