Euphyllia paraancora (Yellow-Gold) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant yellow-gold colouring and distinctive tentacle movement. This tank-bred frag is carefully cultured to ensure healthy growth and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, ideally from LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage or excessive debris accumulation.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium, allowing enough space around it to prevent aggression with neighbouring corals. Euphyllia species have sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals, so maintain a minimum of 10cm clearance.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular feeding of meaty foods or coral-specific supplements will promote vibrant health and growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing species that may overshadow or harm it.
Additional Notes: This frag is tank-bred, ensuring better adaptation to aquarium conditions and reducing wild collection impact. Regular monitoring of water quality and calcium levels is essential for skeletal growth.
