Euphyllia paraancora (Green) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and unique appearance. This premium tiny specimen is tank-bred, ensuring hardiness and acclimatisation to captive conditions.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 fixtures, to support healthy growth without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles and prevent detritus buildup without stressing the coral.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium to balance light exposure and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry.
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.
Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and space for growth.
Origin: Tank-Bred (UK/EU origin not provided).
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15 cm in polyp diameter under optimal conditions.
