Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral belonging to the Mussidae family, prized for its bold colours and distinctive skeletal structure. This premium small specimen is an excellent choice for marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef tanks with a visually striking coral that offers moderate care requirements.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the aquarium, allowing sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its specific husbandry needs and slow growth rate.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals to prevent conflict.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote optimal health and growth.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for long-term success with Symphyllia wilsoni.
