Overview
The Pink and Blue Lobophyllia Colony is a uniquely coloured L-sized coral straight from the nutrient-rich waters of Australia. With fleshy lobes in a delicate blush pink infused with vibrant electric blue streaks and edges, it’s a standout piece that brings both calm elegance and electric contrast to your reef layout.
Unlike single-polyp Lobophyllias, this colony offers a multi-lobed growth pattern that fills space beautifully and creates natural movement and flow across the aquascape.
Care & Feeding
This coral is photosynthetic but will thrive with supplemental feeding. Offer target feedings of mysis shrimp, finely chopped seafood, or coral blends to encourage polyp inflation, faster growth, and enhanced colour saturation. Feeding 1–2 times per week is ideal.
Optimal Parameters
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO3): 2–10 ppm
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Place the colony on the sand bed or a flat, stable section of your rockwork. Ensure space around it for full tissue expansion and avoid contact with aggressive corals. Provide indirect flow and moderate lighting for best polyp health and colouration.
🌺🌊 Elegant but Electric – The Pink and Blue Lobophyllia Colony from Australia adds graceful colour contrast and natural movement to any reef tank. A lush and vibrant choice for collectors seeking rare pastel tones with bold structure.
