Euphyllia glabrescens (Reverse Holy Grail) | S

Euphyllia glabrescens (Reverse Holy Grail) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive reverse-coloured tentacles that create a dramatic visual effect in reef aquariums. This small specimen is perfect for hobbyists looking to add a unique and eye-catching coral to their marine setup.

Lighting: 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. Strong currents can damage the delicate tentacles, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.

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.

Care Level: Intermediate. Euphyllia glabrescens requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals, especially those with aggressive sweeper tentacles.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.

Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality and parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential for optimal skeletal growth and health.
