Symphyllia wilsoni (Australophyllia) Ultra XXL is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its bold colours and intricate skeletal formations. This XXL specimen offers a striking focal point for mature reef aquariums and is highly sought after by experienced marine hobbyists.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant pigmentation. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on a stable substrate or rockwork in the lower to middle regions of the tank. Allow ample space around it to prevent aggression or stinging of neighbouring corals, as Symphyllia wilsoni can extend sweeper tentacles.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist with other peaceful LPS and SPS corals but requires careful placement to avoid conflict.
Feeding: While Symphyllia wilsoni benefits from photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable reef conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.023-1.025 SG, pH 8.1-8.4, and low nutrient levels.
This XXL specimen is best suited for advanced aquarists with established reef systems and stable water quality. Proper care will reward you with a stunning, long-lasting addition to your marine collection.
