Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its bold, fleshy polyps and intricate skeletal structure. This premium Extra Large specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a dramatic focal point to their reef display.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate gas exchange and nutrient delivery without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the tank, allowing sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Symphyllia species can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain at least 10-15 cm clearance.
Diet: While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and polyp extension.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing due to potential aggression towards nearby corals.
This Extra Large Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni coral is a stunning addition to mature reef tanks, offering both aesthetic appeal and biological interest.
