Overview
The Rose Nebula Euphyllia is a truly celestial addition to any reef aquarium, with its delicate pink tentacles swaying like cosmic clouds in the current. Accented by subtle lavender undertones and fluorescent green tips, this branching Euphyllia creates a soft yet vibrant glow under aquarium lighting. Native to the Indo-Pacific, its ethereal coloration and elegant movement make it an instant showstopper in any reef setup.
Care & Feeding
Thriving under moderate lighting and a steady, moderate-to-strong water flow, the Rose Nebula Euphyllia requires optimal conditions to maintain its stunning hues and fluid motion. While primarily photosynthetic, occasional target feedings of mysis shrimp, plankton, or high-quality coral foods will enhance its vitality and encourage polyp extension. Maintaining stable calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels is essential for its branching skeletal structure.
Optimal Parameters
- Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
- Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
- Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
- Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
- Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Placement
Positioned in the mid to bottom section of the tank, the Rose Nebula Euphyllia requires ample space to allow its delicate, flowing tentacles to extend without interference. As a semi-aggressive coral, it should be kept at a safe distance from other corals to prevent stinging interactions. With its mesmerizing soft pink hues and celestial movement, this Euphyllia is a must-have centerpiece for any reef enthusiast.
