Euphyllia glabrescens (Rasta) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive elongated tentacles and vibrant colouration. This tiny Tank-Bred specimen offers hobbyists a manageable size to introduce the captivating movement and texture of Euphyllia corals into their reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal to maintain the coral’s vivid colours and health. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching or stress.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure proper gas exchange and waste removal without damaging the delicate tentacles.
Placement: Position this coral in a location with enough space to accommodate its long, sweeping tentacles. Ensure it is placed away from aggressive neighbours to prevent stinging or damage.
Reef Compatibility: Euphyllia glabrescens is reef safe with adequate spacing, as its sweeper tentacles can sting nearby corals.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Origin: Tank-Bred specimens ensure sustainable sourcing and improved acclimation to aquarium conditions.
