The Euphyllia paradivisa (Orange-Yellow) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant orange-yellow tentacles and unique branching structure. This coral adds dynamic movement and bright colour to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable, ensuring gradual acclimation to avoid bleaching.
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 where it can expand freely. Provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive sweeper tentacle contact.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Euphyllia paradivisa requires stable water parameters and consistent care to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can exhibit aggressive behaviour towards nearby corals using sweeper tentacles.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is recommended to provide sufficient space and stable water conditions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Large colonies can reach up to 30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
