Euphyllia · LPS coral

Care at a glance

Typical requirements of the genus – individual specimens may differ.

Difficulty
Easy to moderate – does well with stable water parameters.
Light
Moderate light; lighting that is too strong keeps the polyps retracted.
Flow
Moderate and alternating, so the tentacles sway gently.
Placement
Middle to lower zone with plenty of space – Euphyllia sting strongly.
Feeding
Photosynthetic; occasional fine food encourages growth.

Euphyllia are among the most popular LPS corals in reef aquariums. Torch, hammer and frogspawn varieties form long, fleshy tentacles with coloured tips that move in the current and bring any tank to life. Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels are essential, as these corals react sensitively to fluctuations. Keep enough distance from neighbouring corals, because their sweeper tentacles can become considerably longer at night. With WYSIWYG offers, the photos show exactly the colony you will receive.
