Physogyra lichtensteini (Green) | S

Physogyra lichtensteini, commonly known as Green Bubble Coral, is a visually striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive bubble-like vesicles and vibrant green coloration. This small specimen is perfect for hobbyists seeking to add a unique texture and colour contrast to their reef aquariums.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid green hues without causing bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.

Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to prevent damage to the delicate vesicles while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.

Placement: Position the coral on a stable substrate or rockwork with enough space to accommodate its expansion. Maintain adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to avoid stinging or overgrowth.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.

Feeding: While photosynthetic, Physogyra lichtensteini benefits from occasional supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near fast-growing or aggressive corals.

This small green Physogyra lichtensteini specimen will add a captivating focal point to your marine aquarium, combining ease of care with stunning aesthetics.
