🧬 Overview
The Toxic Eclipse Wellsophyllia is one of Indonesia’s most unique and visually intense morphs — a coral that feels both alien and exquisite. Its fluorescent tissue pulses with life, while the shadowy black patterns add dramatic definition, creating a dynamic interplay of light and darkness.
Highly prized among advanced collectors, this rare Wellsophyllia embodies the extremes of colour contrast — raw toxicity and refined elegance united in a single colony.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, Wellsophyllia radiata thrives with supplemental feeding once or twice per week. Offer Mysis, Brine Shrimp, or powdered coral foods to enhance tissue thickness and fluorescence. Maintain stable parameters and dose trace elements (iron, manganese, and strontium) to preserve its deep pigmentation and neon intensity.
📈 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) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position on the sandbed or a soft base with gentle, variable flow. Avoid sharp rock edges or neighbouring aggressive species. The coral’s delicate tissue expands best in stable, low-turbulence environments.

A living paradox — neon life wrapped in shadow, glowing with the pulse of the deep reef. A truly rare Indonesian treasure for those who collect the extraordinary.
