Symphyllia (Australophyllia) wilsoni is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and distinctive fleshy polyps. This premium XXXL specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to low lighting is recommended to prevent bleaching and maintain vibrant colours. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate gas exchange and prevent detritus accumulation without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower rockwork where it can expand fully without being overshadowed. Ensure ample space around it to avoid aggressive interactions with neighbouring corals.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and specific husbandry needs.
Feeding: While Symphyllia wilsoni benefits from photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly can promote growth and vibrancy.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth. Avoid placing near fast-growing or highly aggressive species.
This XXXL specimen is ideal for experienced marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef display with a bold and beautiful LPS coral.
