Symphyllia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking green hues and distinctive fleshy polyps. This tiny tank-bred specimen is ideal for hobbyists seeking to add vibrant colour and texture to their reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant coloration. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water flow to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without damaging the delicate polyps.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to mid-level rockwork, allowing sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in keeping LPS corals. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Feeding: While Symphyllia spp. can derive nutrition from photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Additional Notes: As this listing is to genus level, specific origin and maximum size details are not provided. Conservative husbandry practices are advised to ensure long-term success.
