Overview
The Toxic Fluor Trachyphyllia Ultra is an ultra-rare and highly sought-after variation of the Trachyphyllia geoffroyi. Known for its striking fluorescence, this coral features vivid green polyps that seem to glow with an almost toxic intensity under actinic lighting. The centre of each polyp is a sharp yellow, creating an electrifying visual effect that makes this coral a showstopper in any reef aquarium.

This particular strain is considered ultra-rare due to its intense colouration and unique fluorescent properties, making it a must-have for serious collectors and reef enthusiasts looking for a vibrant, high-impact specimen.

Care & Feeding
Like other Trachyphyllia species, the Toxic Fluor variety is photosynthetic but also benefits from regular feeding of meaty foods. Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and coral-specific blends are ideal. Target feeding during the evening, when the polyps are fully extended, helps to encourage maximum polyp extension and vibrant colour.

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 this stunning coral on the bottom or mid-level of your tank, in an area with low to moderate water flow. It thrives under low to moderate lighting, but to fully appreciate its fluorescent glow, ensure it receives some actinic or blue lighting. Give it plenty of space to expand its polyps, as it can be sensitive to neighbouring aggressive corals.

Electrifying Beauty The Toxic Fluor Trachyphyllia Ultra brings intense, otherworldly fluorescence to your reef, a rare and highly sought-after specimen that will be the centrepiece of any aquascape.
