Toxic Orange Lobophyllia

Lobophyllia sp. – WYSIWYG (Approx. 8 cm)

This Lobophyllia sp. is a premium large-polyp stony coral known for its thick fleshy tissue, bold patterns, and vibrant colouration. Its deep ridges and strong contrasting tones make it an eye-catching centrepiece in any LPS or mixed reef aquarium. When fully inflated, this piece displays excellent polyp extension and a rich, full appearance.

This listing is WYSIWYG — the exact coral shown in the photos is the one you will receive. The specimen measures approximately 6 cm across when not expanded.

Care Instructions:

• Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal. Too much intensity can cause tissue recession.

• Flow: Low to moderate, indirect flow helps keep the coral clean while preventing damage to its soft tissue.

• Placement: Place on the sand bed or a flat, stable rock. Provide adequate space from aggressive neighbours.

• Feeding: Benefits greatly from targeted feeding of mysis shrimp, LPS pellets, or other meaty foods.

• Water Parameters: Maintain stable reef conditions (Alkalinity 8–9 dKH, Calcium 420–450 ppm, Magnesium 1300–1400 ppm, Nitrate 5–15 ppm, Phosphate 0.03–0.1 ppm).

Why This Coral Is a Great Choice:

• Large, fleshy polyps with striking colouration.

• A standout centrepiece for any LPS collection.

• Responds well to feeding and stable tank conditions.

• Hardy once settled and suitable for intermediate hobbyists.

Photo Disclaimer: Colours may vary slightly under different lighting conditions and screen displays, though we photograph all WYSIWYG corals as accurately as possible.

We take livestock seriously. That's why we don't sell anything we wouldn't be comfortable putting in our own tank.

As we are direct from source, we import and sell direct to the public. This means you can buy with confidence knowing EMA prides itself on excellent handling and conditioning protocols.

Fish

All our fish held in a quarantine system for a minimum of 3 weeks. During this time, regular water changes are performed, and twice daily (or sometimes more) feedings are performed.

Copper is dosed and checked twice a day for ich and velvet.

During this treatment fish are given formalin baths for brooklynella and a minimum of 3 praziquantel doses is performed for flukes.

Coral

Our coral is quarantined for a minimum of 3 weeks, just like fish. During this time, regular water changes are performed, water testing done, and once a month a Fauna Marin ICP Total is performed.

Corals are inspected for pests/general health and are provided with a pest dip once a week for at least 3 weeks.

If we see signs of pests, the quarantine period is extended and/or additional dips are performed

If coral is bleached/unhealthy, it will remain in quarantine until healthy enough to sell.
