Euphyllia paradivisa (Orange-Yellow)

Euphyllia paradivisa (Orange-Yellow) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking orange-yellow tentacles that gently sway with aquarium currents, adding vibrant colour and movement to reef tanks.

This small specimen is ideal for marine aquarists seeking to enhance their reef display with a hardy yet visually impressive coral. Euphyllia paradivisa thrives under moderate lighting conditions such as T5 fluorescents or LED setups, and prefers moderate, indirect water flow to encourage healthy polyp extension without causing tissue damage.

Placement should be on stable rockwork with sufficient space around it to prevent aggressive sweeper tentacles from harming neighbouring corals. This species is reef safe with adequate spacing, making it a suitable addition to mixed LPS and SPS reef systems.

Regular water quality maintenance and stable parameters are essential for optimal health. Feeding is not mandatory but can be supplemented with occasional target feeding of meaty foods like brine shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth.

Overall, Euphyllia paradivisa (Orange-Yellow) is a rewarding coral for hobbyists with some experience in LPS care, offering a stunning focal point in medium to large reef aquariums.
