Physogyra lichtensteini, commonly known as the Bubble Coral, is a captivating LPS coral prized for its large, inflated vesicles and vibrant colours. This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement is ideal to prevent damage to the delicate vesicles while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable substrate or rockwork in the lower to middle areas of the aquarium. Ensure ample space around it to prevent aggressive interactions with neighbouring corals, as Physogyra can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists due to its size and specific husbandry needs.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
With proper care, this extra large Physogyra lichtensteini will thrive and become a stunning highlight in your marine aquarium.
