This XXXXL variant offers a substantial presence in mature reef aquariums, making it a standout specimen for enthusiasts seeking to enhance their coral collection.
Lighting: Moderate to low lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and coloration. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate gas exchange and prevent detritus accumulation without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to mid-level rockwork with sufficient space around it to prevent aggression or stinging of neighbouring corals. Symphyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain at least 10cm clearance.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and specific husbandry needs.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid coral warfare.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential to support the health of this premium LPS coral.
