Symphyllia spp. (Yellow) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its vibrant yellow hues and distinctive skeletal formations. This XXL specimen is ideal for experienced marine aquarists seeking to add a bold splash of colour and texture to their reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal health and vibrant coloration. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water movement to ensure proper gas exchange and nutrient delivery without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower rockwork with ample space around it. Symphyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression.
Diet: While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can promote growth and vibrancy.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging interactions.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and careful placement.
Additional Notes: Origin and maximum size vary within the genus; therefore, conservative husbandry practices are advised. Regular monitoring and water quality maintenance will ensure long-term health.
