Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Green) Ultra Frag is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green tentacles and unique flowing appearance. This tank-bred frag is cultivated under optimal conditions, ensuring healthy growth and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid green coloration and promote polyp extension. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 100-200 are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to gently sway the tentacles without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong direct currents which can stress the coral.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the reef tank, allowing enough space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive sweeper tentacle contact. A minimum spacing of 10-15cm is advised.
Care Level: Intermediate. Euphyllia yaeyamaensis requires stable water parameters and consistent care but is generally hardy once acclimatised.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist with other peaceful corals but may extend sweeper tentacles at night, so careful placement is essential.
Origin: Tank-Bred (DJM Grown)
Maximum Size: Colonies can grow to approximately 30cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
Adding Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Green) Ultra frag to your marine aquarium will enhance its visual appeal with its flowing, vibrant green polyps and dynamic movement. Regular monitoring of water quality and stable parameters will ensure long-term health and growth.
