Euphyllia yaeyamaensis (Orange-Yellow) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant orange-yellow tentacles that gently sway in aquarium currents, adding both colour and movement to reef tanks. This frag is tank-bred and cultured by DJM, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens suitable for marine aquarists seeking a premium coral addition.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 100-250 are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps prevent tissue damage while encouraging polyp extension and health.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals, so a minimum spacing of 10-15 cm is advised.
Care Level: Moderate care level; 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 mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide stable water parameters and space.
Origin: Not Provided (Tank-bred)
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30 cm in diameter under optimal conditions.
