Platygyra spp. (Premium) – XXXL is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive maze-like skeletal structure and vibrant colours. This premium specimen is ideal for marine aquarists looking to add a dramatic focal point to their reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to ensure the coral’s delicate polyps are not damaged while promoting effective gas exchange and nutrient delivery.
Placement: Position the coral on a stable rock or substrate in the middle to lower regions of the tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for growth.
Care Level: Moderate. While Platygyra spp. are generally hardy, they require stable water parameters and regular monitoring to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but will benefit from occasional feeding of small meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can engage in chemical warfare or sweeper tentacle attacks if placed too close to other corals.
Additional Notes: Due to the size (XXXL), ensure your aquarium has sufficient space and stable water conditions. Regular water testing and maintenance are essential to support this coral’s health.
