Euphyllia paradivisa (Green) (Ultra) | M

Euphyllia paradivisa (Green) Ultra is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its striking green tentacles and flowing movement. This medium-sized specimen adds vibrant colour and dynamic texture to mature reef aquariums.

Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colouration. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong direct currents.

Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia paradivisa has sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals, so maintain at least 10-15cm clearance.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its specific lighting and flow requirements and sensitivity to water quality fluctuations.

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.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression.

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

Origin: Not Provided.

Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30cm (12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
