Lobophytum spp. (Fluor Green) is a visually striking soft leather coral prized for its bright fluorescent green hues. This small specimen is perfect for marine reef aquariums, adding vibrant colour and texture to your coral collection.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in soft coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and health. LED or T5 lighting systems are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position in the mid to upper regions of the tank, ensuring sufficient space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression or overgrowth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Lobophytum spp. can extend sweeper tentacles that may sting nearby corals, so maintain a respectful distance.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific supplements can support growth.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters typical for reef aquaria: temperature 24-26°C, salinity 1.023-1.025 SG, and low nutrient levels. Regular monitoring and water changes will promote coral health.
