🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia yamamensis “Golden Bloom” is a beautiful branching Euphyllia species known for its soft flowing tentacles and vibrant yellow coloration. Yamamensis corals produce elegant tentacle movement that sways gently with reef flow, creating a dynamic and lively visual effect in reef aquascapes.
This species is closely related to torch and hammer corals but develops its own distinctive tentacle structure and polyp shape. The glowing yellow coloration adds a warm highlight to reef systems and contrasts beautifully with green, purple and blue LPS corals.
As the coral grows, new heads form along the branching skeleton, gradually creating a larger colony with multiple flowing polyps.

Selected for:
• Bright yellow to golden tentacle coloration
• Healthy inflated polyps
• Strong branching skeleton
• Active polyp extension and movement
• Excellent colour response under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Euphyllia corals benefit from occasional feeding which can support growth and stronger polyp expansion.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Mysis shrimp or finely chopped seafood
• Reef roids or LPS coral foods
• Target feeding with gentle flow
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–20 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the mid to lower areas of the aquascape where moderate lighting and gentle oscillating flow allow the tentacles to move naturally.
Allow adequate space from neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia species can extend sweeper tentacles.
