Lobophyllia spp. (Orange-Red) Premium XXL is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its striking orange-red coloration and robust skeletal structure. This premium specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a bold focal point to their reef display.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems with adjustable intensity. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure adequate gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the tank where it can expand fully without competing for space. Maintain good spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care: Lobophyllia spp. are generally hardy but require stable water parameters typical of reef aquaria: temperature 24-27°C, salinity 1.023-1.025, and low nutrient levels. Regular feeding with meaty foods such as mysis or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and colour.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; it can extend sweeper tentacles and sting nearby corals, so maintain adequate spacing.
This XXL specimen offers a dramatic presence in any marine aquarium and is best suited to hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral care.
