The detail
Euphyllia are large-polyp stony corals from the Indo-Pacific, including torch, hammer and frogspawn corals. They are beautiful and flowing, but have long sweeper tentacles that sting neighbors.
- Housing
- Reef tank, moderate light and flow
- Tank size
- 3 out of 5 (Needs space for sweepers)
What to weigh
Euphyllia can sting neighbors, and they are susceptible to brown jelly disease and Euphyllia-eating flatworms.
