🧬 Overview
These “Full Color” Catalaphyllia frags have been freshly propagated directly from our exceptional XL mother colony, allowing us to offer the same striking toxic green/yellow colouration in a more accessible Size M specimen.
The mother colony was specifically selected for its unusually intense coloration extending throughout the coral rather than being restricted to the tentacle tips or isolated fluorescent areas. These frags originate directly from that same specimen and retain its characteristic toxic green to fluorescent yellow appearance.
Under blue spectrum lighting, the tissue develops an intense neon glow, creating a highly visible fluorescent presence in the aquarium. As they grow and fully establish, these frags have the potential to develop into impressive Elegance corals with the same flowing appearance and striking coloration as the original mother colony.
✂️ Shop Propagated
Each frag has been carefully cut directly from the XL “Full Color” mother colony shown, making these genuine propagated pieces of one of our standout Catalaphyllia specimens.
Selected for:
• Direct propagation from our XL “Full Color” mother colony
• Toxic green/yellow coloration
• Intense fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Size M frags
• Strong potential for impressive tentacle extension
• Shop-propagated specimen
• Opportunity to grow your own piece of this exceptional mother colony
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Elegance corals benefit from both photosynthesis and occasional feeding.
Recommended feeding occasionally:
• Mysis shrimp or small meaty foods
• LPS pellets
• Target feeding to support recovery, growth and tissue health
📈 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
Best placed on the sandbed or low rockwork with gentle, indirect flow that allows the tentacles to extend naturally. Provide adequate space from neighbouring corals as Catalaphyllia can develop long sweeper tentacles as they grow.
As these are recently propagated specimens, stable water parameters and gentle flow are particularly important during the initial establishment period.
