Great Golden Galaxea Coral is a Galaxea large-polyp stony coral with golden coloration. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and ample room around the colony. Its Galaxea growth form requires thoughtful placement away from nearby corals.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Very aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Start with a gentler position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while observing how the coral responds.

Flow

Use moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without concentrating force on one area for extended periods.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow room in every direction, and acclimate gradually to its final light and flow exposure.

Temperament

Give this very aggressive coral substantial spacing from neighbors. Long sweeper tentacles can reach beyond the visible colony and sting nearby corals, especially after lights-out.

Feeding

Occasional target feeding is optional. Stable reef conditions remain the priority, whether or not supplemental feeding is offered.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly as it settles in. Avoid crowding it as it grows, keep nearby corals outside sweeper-tentacle reach, and make placement changes gradually rather than abruptly.

Plan its location carefully to preserve safe space around the colony.
