Euphyllia paraancora (Two Tone) is a visually striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive two-tone colouring and flowing tentacles. This medium-sized specimen adds dynamic movement and vibrant colour to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 100-200 are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank, ensuring it has ample space to expand without touching neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia species can exhibit aggressive sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Moderate. This coral requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggression. Avoid placing near delicate or slow-growing species.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and vibrancy.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 90 litres (approximately 24 gallons) and above to provide sufficient space and stable water conditions.
