Pinky Rimmed Trachyphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Pinky Rimmed Trachyphyllia Coral is a fleshy large-polyp stony coral with a distinct rimmed appearance. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to a protected display position where its fleshy tissue can remain undisturbed. Its moderate care needs center on gentle placement, stable reef conditions, and careful acclimation.

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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start in gentler light during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual placement adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without blasting or folding the fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it on the sand bed or in a protected lower reef area. Use a stable, non-abrasive surface and keep the tissue away from sharp rock.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may affect nearby specimens, so avoid close placement and provide room for its fleshy tissue.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional appropriately sized meaty foods can be offered. Feed gently and avoid forceful flow during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and acclimate gradually. Watch for abrasion, tissue contact with rock, or excessive direct flow, and reposition promptly if the fleshy area appears stressed or cannot rest securely.

A stable, protected lower placement supports long-term care for this coral.
