Euphyllia glabrescens (Green) Ultra is a spectacular large-polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant green coloration. This extra large specimen makes a stunning focal point in mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colour and healthy growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure the tentacles gently sway without being blasted, which can cause tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the mid to lower regions of the tank, allowing ample space around it to prevent aggression towards neighbouring corals. Euphyllia species have sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals, so maintain adequate spacing.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (20 gallons) or larger to provide stable conditions and space.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Can reach up to 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
This extra large Euphyllia glabrescens (Green) Ultra is ideal for aquarists looking to enhance their reef display with a dynamic and visually captivating coral. Regular monitoring of water quality and careful placement will ensure long-term success.
