This coral is tank-bred, ensuring hardiness and ethical sourcing, making it an excellent choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking vibrant, dynamic additions to their reef.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid coloration and health. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong currents can damage the delicate tentacles, while low flow may lead to detritus accumulation.

Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
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. Euphyllia paradivisa can be aggressive towards nearby corals due to sweeper tentacles, so maintain a safe distance.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) to provide stable water parameters and space for growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically up to 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
