Overview
The Blotchy Ancora Euphyllia from Australia’s Ultra Fluor grade line is an extraordinary variation of Euphyllia ancora, prized for its irregular, high-contrast patches of fluorescent green, golden yellow, and soft pink. Each polyp appears painted with abstract brilliance, creating a one-of-a-kind visual rhythm as it sways with the current.
This coral isn’t just beautiful—it’s full of personality. The blotchy color pattern ensures no two colonies are alike, making it an ideal choice for collectors seeking unique centerpiece specimens with organic flow and elite coloration.
Care & Feeding
Like other Euphyllia, this Blotchy Ancora is photosynthetic but greatly benefits from occasional feeding with planktonic foods or fine meaty blends like reef roids. Maintain stable water parameters and dose key supplements to support skeletal growth and tissue health. Handle with care, as its large polyps are sensitive to physical damage.
Optimal Parameters
Alkalinity (dKH): 8-11
Calcium (Ca): 420-460 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1300-1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO3): 2-10 ppm
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Placement
Place the Blotchy Ancora at the bottom or middle level of the aquarium with moderate, indirect flow to allow its polyps to expand fully. Provide space from other corals, as its sweeper tentacles can extend and sting neighbors during night-time feeding.
