Indophyllia Coral

Indophyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Indophyllia Coral is a fleshy large-polyp stony coral with a solitary, fleshy polyp form. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to reef keepers who can provide a protected lower placement and careful handling. Its fleshy tissue benefits from a stable setup and a surface that will not cause abrasion.

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

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Sand bed or protected lower reef area
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting or continually moving the fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it on the sand bed or in a protected lower reef area. Keep the specimen off unstable or abrasive surfaces, and protect its tissue from sharp rock.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may require separation to reduce the risk of contact and stinging interactions.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional appropriately sized meaty foods may be offered. Avoid forcing food or disturbing the coral’s fleshy tissue during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially during acclimation, and inspect the tissue regularly for abrasion or irritation. Avoid direct flow, sharp rock, and shifting placement surfaces. Make any lighting or placement changes gradually so the coral can adjust.

A secure, protected placement helps keep this fleshy LPS coral comfortable.
