𧬠Overview
The Mastergrade Warpaint Wellsophyllia is one of the most striking LPS collector corals available. Its hypnotic βwarpaintβ pattern and rich, saturated colours make it a centrepiece coral that commands attention under both white and actinic lighting. Each specimen is unique, with organic, flowing folds and intense pigment transitions.
π½οΈ Feeding & Care
Although primarily photosynthetic, it benefits greatly from targeted feeding 1β2 times per week with meaty foods like mysis, krill, or coral pellets. Regular supplementation of amino acids and trace elements enhances tissue health and colour vibrancy.
π Optimal Parameters
Alkalinity (dKH): 8β12
Calcium (Ca): 420β460 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1250β1350 ppm
Nitrate (NOβ): 2β10 ppm
Phosphate (POβ): 0.02β0.08 ppm
π Placement
Place on a stable surface in low to moderate flow. Avoid contact with aggressive neighbours. Under blue/actinic lighting, its red and green streaks glow intensely, revealing the βwarpaintβ pattern that gives it its name.
