Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive fleshy polyps and vibrant colours. This small variant is ideal for hobbyists looking to add a unique and visually appealing coral to their marine aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water flow to ensure adequate nutrient delivery while preventing tissue damage.
Placement: Place this coral on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the tank. Ensure sufficient space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions, as Symphyllia can extend sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular feeding will promote growth.
Feeding: While capable of photosynthesis via symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare.
Additional Notes: This coral is not tank-bred and originates from wild collections. Regular monitoring of water quality and parameters is essential for long-term success.
