🧬 Overview
The Emerald Crown Parancora is a classic yet highly sought-after Euphyllia morph, prized for its glowing green tips that ignite under actinic light. Its flowing tentacles create constant motion in the aquarium, while its bi-colour contrast makes it a versatile addition — both as a centerpiece or a complementary accent in mixed Euphyllia gardens.
🍽️ Feeding & Care
Though largely photosynthetic, it benefits from supplemental feedings of mysis, brine, or finely chopped seafood 1–2 times weekly. Feeding encourages brighter tip fluorescence, faster growth, and fuller tentacle extension.
📈 Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.02–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Ideal for mid to lower zones with moderate indirect water flow. Allow ample space for tentacle extension, as Euphyllia parancora can extend long sweepers at night. Under blue-dominant light, the green tips fluoresce vividly, making this coral a high-impact visual piece.
