Symphyllia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant green hues and distinctive fleshy polyps. This premium, tank-bred specimen is offered in a tiny size, making it suitable for aquarists looking to add a splash of colour to their reef tanks with manageable growth.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, as Symphyllia spp. require stable water parameters and moderate lighting to thrive. They are generally hardy but benefit from consistent husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of approximately 50-150. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is preferred to gently circulate water around the coral without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Place Symphyllia spp. on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the reef tank. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as this species can extend sweeper tentacles.
Diet: While photosynthetic, Symphyllia spp. benefit from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can coexist with many reef-safe species but requires room to expand without contact.
Additional Notes: As this listing is to genus level (spp.), exact origin and maximum size are not provided. Conservative husbandry practices are advised to ensure long-term health.
