Symphyllia spp. (Splitcolour) is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its striking colour variations and distinctive skeletal morphology. This premium Tiny specimen is an excellent choice for marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef display with a visually captivating coral.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colours. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water flow to ensure adequate nutrient delivery while minimising tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower sections of the rockwork, allowing sufficient space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Symphyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain at least 10cm clearance.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional target feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or those sensitive to sweeper tentacles.
Additional Notes: Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential for long-term success. Maintain calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium within recommended reef aquarium ranges.
