Euphyllia paraancora (Orange-Pink) is a captivating large LPS coral prized for its striking orange-pink tentacles and unique branching structure. This premium specimen is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add vibrant colour and movement to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate – best suited for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Lighting Requirements: Euphyllia paraancora thrives under moderate lighting conditions. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems providing moderate PAR levels are ideal to maintain healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage or excessive stress.
Placement: Position this coral in a location with adequate space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals. Mid to lower areas of the tank are typically suitable.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Not aggressive towards fish or invertebrates but caution is advised with sensitive coral species nearby.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods to promote growth and colour.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and sufficient space for growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Large specimens can reach up to 30cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential for long-term health. Maintain calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium within recommended reef aquarium ranges to support skeletal growth.
