Symphyllia spp. Splitcolour (Premium) – Extra Large is a visually stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant split colour patterns and fleshy polyps. Belonging to the Mussidae family, this coral is a captivating addition to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to low lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant colours. Avoid intense direct light which can 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 middle sections of the tank where lighting and flow conditions are stable. Ensure ample space around the colony to prevent aggression with neighbouring corals, as Symphyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging interactions. Not aggressive towards fish or invertebrates.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining stable water parameters and lighting.
Additional Notes: Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential. Avoid rapid changes in lighting or water flow to reduce stress.
