🧬 Overview
The Infernal Eclipse Trachyphyllia represents one of the most visually striking large-polyp corals available, merging the calm sheen of silver-grey tissue with the intensity of lava-like red and yellow patterning.
Each piece is entirely unique — no two follow the same pattern — making it a centrepiece in any LPS collection.
This coral’s ultra-grade quality is defined by its perfect inflation, bold colour contrast, and deep tissue definition. A genuine collector’s specimen that radiates refinement and strength.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic but thrives with supplemental feeding once or twice weekly using finely chopped meaty foods (mysis, brine, or reef roids).
Feed after lights out when tentacles extend. Regular dosing of iodine, potassium, and amino acids will further enhance colour vibrancy and definition.
📈 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
Best placed on a soft sandbed or smooth substrate with gentle, indirect flow. This allows full tissue expansion and protects against abrasions. Avoid strong lighting transitions or proximity to aggressive corals.
