🧬 Overview
The Solar Inferno Wellsophyllia is a rare and ultra-vibrant morph of Wellsophyllia (Trachyphyllia) radiata, renowned for its electric yellow base intertwined with intense red ridges that glow vividly under blue lighting.
Each fleshy polyp forms thick, undulating folds that catch light in every curve, producing a hypnotic, radiant display — an unmistakable showpiece for collectors seeking colour intensity and structure in one coral.
This coral’s brilliant contrast and smooth movement make it a living sculpture, glowing like a miniature sun resting on your reef bed.
🍽️ Feeding & Care
While primarily photosynthetic, Wellsophyllia corals thrive with occasional supplemental feeding once or twice weekly using small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped krill, or coral blends.
Maintain stable, balanced parameters and avoid direct flow — gentle, oscillating movement will keep tissue clean and extended without stress.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.01–0.05 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position the coral on an open sandbed or flat, stable lower rockwork where it has room to expand naturally.
Avoid sharp rock edges that could abrade its soft tissue, and allow generous spacing from other LPS corals due to potential sweeper tentacles.
