🧬 Overview
The Neon Storm Euphyllia is a spectacular hybrid grafted colony — a living fusion of two genetic colour morphs combined into one vibrant masterpiece. Its massive, undulating tentacles shift between radiant yellow and cool blue hues, creating an ever-changing light show as it sways in the current.
Highly prized among collectors and advanced reef keepers, this Euphyllia yaeyamensis hybrid embodies the next level of coral beauty — rarity, movement, and fluorescent intensity united in perfect harmony.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, this coral thrives with occasional feeding 1–2 times per week using Mysis, Brine Shrimp, or fine coral foods. Maintain balanced trace elements (strontium, manganese, and iron) to enhance colour definition and skeletal growth. Stability in alkalinity and nutrient levels is essential for maintaining graft integrity and overall tissue health.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position in a moderate flow area where its long, hybrid tentacles can move freely without abrasion. Allow sufficient space between colonies — Euphyllia yaeyamensis can extend long sweeper tentacles capable of stinging nearby corals.
