Overview
The Nebula Majesty Symphyllia is a true titan of the reef, boasting an XXL size with a mesmerizing blend of velvety purple and radiant pink swirls. Its intricate, brain-like ridges create a celestial illusion, resembling the colorful clouds of a distant nebula. This impressive LPS coral is both a statement piece and a harmonious addition to a reef aquarium, bringing a regal presence with its rich hues and sculptural form.
Care & Feeding
This coral flourishes under moderate lighting and low to moderate water flow, ensuring its fleshy surface remains free from debris. While it relies primarily on photosynthesis, occasional feedings of mysis shrimp, plankton, or reef-safe pellet foods can boost its health and coloration. Maintaining proper calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels is essential to support its thick, undulating skeletal structure.
Optimal Parameters
- Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
- Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
- Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
- Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
- Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Placement
Given its XXL size, the Nebula Majesty Symphyllia thrives in the bottom section of the aquarium, where it can spread without crowding other corals. Its peaceful nature makes it ideal for mixed reefs, but care should be taken to ensure it has ample space for full polyp expansion. With its otherworldly coloration and grand presence, this coral is a must-have centerpiece for any high-end reef tank.
