Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive, elongated tentacles and vibrant green hues. This premium medium specimen is a prized addition to mature reef aquariums, offering dynamic movement and colour contrast.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and health. 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 damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position this coral in a mid to lower reef zone with enough space to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting adjacent corals.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its specific lighting and flow needs.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid aggression towards other corals.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide stable water parameters and sufficient space.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for long-term success. This premium Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Green) medium specimen will enhance any reef display with its elegant movement and striking colour.
