Euphyllia paraancora (Orange-Pink) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant orange-pink tentacles and distinctive appearance. This medium-sized specimen is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a splash of colour and movement to their reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 systems, to maintain optimal colouration and health without causing stress.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure the coral’s delicate tentacles can extend fully without damage.

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: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and sufficient space.
