🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia paraancora “Yellow Mellow” is a beautiful collector-grade branching Hammer Coral celebrated for its bright yellow colouration and elegant flowing movement. Its warm lemon-yellow tentacles create a cheerful, highly visible display that contrasts beautifully against darker corals and surrounding reef structures.
Unlike gold or orange morphs, the Yellow Mellow displays a cleaner pastel-yellow appearance that glows intensely under blue-spectrum lighting while maintaining excellent colour visibility under daylight settings.
Its branching growth structure allows the coral to develop into an impressive multi-head colony over time, making it a fantastic choice for Euphyllia gardens and mixed reef aquariums seeking a brighter colour palette.
🧾 CTO (Cut-to-Order)
Frags are freshly cut from a healthy, established mother colony and selected for colour intensity, health, and polyp extension.
Please note:
• Healing time may be required before shipping
• Branch count may vary depending on the cut
• Colouration may continue to improve under stable reef conditions
• You will receive a frag similar to the photographs shown
Selected for:
• Bright lemon-yellow colouration
• Exceptional fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Beautiful flowing hammer-shaped polyps
• Premium branching growth structure
• Strong growth and colony development potential
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Euphyllia benefit from both photosynthesis and occasional supplemental feeding.
Recommended feeding:
• Mysis shrimp
• Artemia
• LPS pellets
• Finely chopped marine foods
Target feeding may encourage faster growth, branching, and improved polyp expansion.
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in an area with moderate, indirect flow where the polyps can sway naturally. Avoid excessive turbulence and allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia may extend sweeper tentacles during the night.
