Euphyllia paradivisa (Green) is a premium large LPS coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and distinctive branching structure. This species adds dynamic movement and colour to mature reef aquariums, making it a popular choice among experienced marine hobbyists.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid coloration and promote healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum are ideal.
Water Flow: Euphyllia paradivisa thrives under moderate, indirect water flow. Strong currents can cause tissue damage, so positioning in areas with gentle water movement is best.
Placement: Place this coral in a location with adequate space to allow its long, sweeping tentacles to extend without touching neighbouring corals. This species is known for its aggressive sweeper tentacles and requires careful spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Due to its aggressive nature, Euphyllia paradivisa should be kept away from other corals to prevent stinging and damage.
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 support growth and vibrancy.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is recommended to provide sufficient space and stable water parameters.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals and stable reef environments.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Can reach up to 30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
