Symphyllia spp. (Splitcolour) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its striking split-colour patterns and fleshy polyps. This premium XXL specimen offers a bold visual impact in mature reef aquariums.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended. Symphyllia spp. require stable water parameters and moderate lighting to thrive.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED setups providing 50-150 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate, indirect water movement is preferred to gently sway the polyps without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower to middle sections of the tank to ensure appropriate light and flow. Provide ample space around the coral to prevent aggression towards 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. Avoid placing near aggressive corals to reduce risk of stinging.
Tank Size: Suitable for established marine aquariums of 100 litres or more to accommodate growth and maintain water quality.
Origin & Size: Origin not provided. This XXL specimen offers a substantial presence with large fleshy polyps typical of the genus.
With proper husbandry, this Symphyllia spp. (Splitcolour) will add vibrant colour and dynamic texture to your reef display.
