🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia ancora “Banana Ultra Yellow” is a premium LPS coral prized for its radiant golden hues and slow, graceful motion.
Our specimens are aquarium-grown in-house, ensuring:
-
stable, vivid yellow pigmentation
-
exceptional feeding and expansion behaviour
-
excellent resilience in captivity
-
sustainable, non-wild origin
Each colony develops thick, fleshy polyps with uniform hammer tips that sway beautifully in soft currents — a perfect focal point for any Euphyllia-dominated reef.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Euphyllias benefit from regular feeding to enhance colour and tissue growth. Offer:
-
small mysis or brine shrimp pieces
-
reef pellets or soft coral foods
Feed 1–2 × per week to maintain bright colour and promote healthy expansion.
Allow adequate space between neighbouring corals to avoid stings.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |

| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position in gentle, indirect flow and moderate lighting. Avoid strong currents that can damage fleshy polyps. Provide space around the colony for full polyp expansion and sweeper tentacle movement at night.
