🧬 Overview
The Toxic Venom Stripes Catalaphyllia is a collector-grade Elegance coral prized for its extreme colour contrast and rare black striping expression. True black patterning on a toxic yellow base is exceptionally uncommon, making this piece a statement predator on the sandbed.

Its long, flowing tentacles, heavy tissue mass and aggressive colour pattern give it both elegance and menace — soft movement with hard attitude.

Each WYSIWYG colony is selected for:

• True toxic yellow base (no cream, no green wash)

• Clearly defined jet-black stripes / veins

• Thick, fleshy tissue and strong extension

• Full inflation and healthy oral disc

• Proven stability and acclimation in reef conditions

A premium option for reefers who want maximum contrast, rarity and visual aggression in their LPS collection.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Catalaphyllia respond extremely well to direct feeding and will grow larger and more colourful with regular nutrition.

Feed 1–2× weekly with:

• Mysis, chopped shrimp, krill

• LPS pellets

• Meaty frozen blends

Target feed after lights out for best feeding response.

📈 Optimal Parameters
