Lobophyllia spp. (Splitcolour) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant, contrasting colour patterns and robust growth. This premium medium-sized specimen is perfect for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a bold focal point to their reef tank.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, making it suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining LPS corals.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching; LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to ensure adequate nutrient delivery without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position on a stable rock or substrate with enough space around it to prevent aggression towards neighbouring corals. Lobophyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain at least 10cm clearance from other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Lobophyllia spp. can be aggressive towards nearby corals due to sweeper tentacles.
Origin & Size: Origin is not provided. Medium size suitable for a variety of reef setups.
Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth and vibrant colours. This premium Lobophyllia spp. (Splitcolour) is a captivating addition to any marine aquarium.
