🧬 Overview
The Lobophyllia “Royal Treasure” is a truly exceptional collector-grade brain coral showcasing one of the most desirable colour combinations found within the genus. Deep royal-purple valleys weave through vibrant crimson-red tissue, while brilliant golden highlights illuminate the colony with extraordinary contrast and visual depth.
Its intricate folds and fleshy ridges create a luxurious three-dimensional appearance that changes depending on viewing angle and lighting spectrum. Under blue reef lighting, the golden pigmentation becomes intensely fluorescent, giving the colony a jewel-like glow rarely seen in traditional brain corals.
As the coral expands and matures, the colour contrast becomes even more dramatic, transforming it into a living centrepiece capable of dominating any premium reef display.
Selected for:
• Rare purple, red, and gold colour combination
• Exceptional fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Thick fleshy collector-grade tissue
• Striking three-dimensional growth form

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Lobophyllia benefit from both photosynthesis and supplemental feeding.
Recommended feeding:
