Thick, fleshy tissue and full inflation
-
Proven stability and acclimation in reef conditions

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Trachyphyllia respond extremely well to direct feeding and will show improved size, colour depth and tissue thickness.
Feed 1–2× weekly with:
-
Mysis, chopped shrimp, krill
-
LPS pellets
-
Meaty frozen blends
Best fed after lights out for strongest feeding response.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.05–0.15 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place directly on the sandbed, away from rockwork to prevent tissue damage.
Ensure gentle, indirect flow so the tissue can inflate fully without stress.
Pairs exceptionally well with:
-
Ultra Orange, Gold & Grey, Orange & Blue Yumas
-
Acanthastrea and Micromussa

Chalices with dark bases
-
Euphyllia gardens for colour balance
