Euphyllia Yaeyamaensis (Octo Coral) Green w Blue Tips

Euphyllia yaeyamaensis is a beautiful LPS coral known for its long flowing tentacles and graceful movement. It's often compared to other Euphyllia species and makes a great feature coral in a reef tank.

LIGHTING

Moderate lighting is usually best. It can adapt to a range of lighting conditions but generally prefers not to be placed directly under extremely intense light.

FLOW
Moderate, indirect flow is ideal. Gentle movement will help the tentacles sway naturally without causing them to retract.

FEEDING

While it gets most of its energy from light, occasional feedings of coral foods, mysis shrimp, or other small meaty foods can support growth and health.

PLACEMENT

Place it in an area where it has room to fully expand. The tentacles can extend quite a distance 

WATER QUALITY

Stable water parameters are important. Consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature will help keep it healthy and thriving.

TANK MATES
Give it plenty of space from neighbouring corals. Like many Euphyllia species, it can sting nearby corals if they get too close.

Overall, Euphyllia yaeyamaensis is a stunning coral that adds plenty of movement and character to a reef tank. With moderate light, gentle flow, and stable water conditions, it can become a real highlight of your aquarium.
