Overview

The Solar Twin Euphyllia is a breathtaking fusion of two golden Euphyllia ancora corals sharing a single base, creating a mesmerizing display of flowing, sun-kissed tentacles. Its dual-coloration, featuring deep gold intertwined with vibrant yellow, mimics the brilliance of a twin star system glowing in a cosmic expanse. This unique specimen brings warmth and radiance to any reef aquarium, its gentle swaying motion adding both elegance and energy to the tank.

Care & Feeding

To maintain its intense golden hues, the Solar Twin Euphyllia thrives under moderate lighting with a moderate to strong water flow, preventing debris accumulation while ensuring proper nutrient absorption. Although primarily photosynthetic, it benefits from occasional feedings of mysis shrimp, plankton, or specialized coral foods to support growth and enhance coloration. Stable calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels are vital for skeletal development and long-term health.

Optimal Parameters

  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
  • Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
  • Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
  • Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
  • Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm

Placement

Best placed in the mid to bottom section of the tank, the Solar Twin Euphyllia needs space to allow its tentacles to expand fully. Due to its semi-aggressive nature, it should be positioned at a safe distance from other corals to prevent stinging interactions. With its fiery golden coloration and graceful movement, this Euphyllia is an absolute centerpiece, adding a touch of celestial beauty to any reef setup.
