Lobophyllia spp. (Orange-Red) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its bold orange to red coloration, adding vibrant colour and texture to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure proper gas exchange and waste removal without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable substrate or rockwork with enough space around it to accommodate its fleshy, expanding polyps. Maintain adequate distance from aggressive neighbours to prevent coral warfare.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and specific husbandry needs.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near fast-growing or aggressive corals.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for long-term success. Feed with meaty foods such as mysis or specialised coral feeds to support growth and vibrancy.
