{"product_id":"rainbow-lobophyllia-4","title":"Rainbow Lobophyllia","description":"\u003cp\u003eLobophyllia corals, often called Lobos or Brain Corals, are a popular choice for reef aquariums due to their striking patterns and colours. This particular Rainbow Lobophyllia is a captivating specimen that adds a vibrant splash to any established system, appealing to both new and experienced reef keepers. Its robust nature and relatively straightforward care requirements make it an excellent addition. This piece measures approximately 6cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically forming a colonial, hemispherical mound, Lobophyllia polyps are fleshy and can completely obscure their skeletal structure when fully extended. This Rainbow Lobophyllia displays an intricate palette, with multiple hues blending across its surface, creating a stunning visual effect that truly lives up to its name. The individual corallites, which house the polyps, can be quite large and distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for a Lobophyllia involves providing moderate PAR lighting, ideally between 75 and 150. Moderate, indirect water flow is best to keep its polyps clean without causing irritation. Placement on a lower to mid-level rockwork or sand bed allows for ample expansion. Feeding can include small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or copepods a few times a week, though they also gain nutrition from their zooxanthellae. Maintain stable calcium levels between 420-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and magnesium at 1300-1400 ppm. Ensure adequate spacing from other corals as they can extend mesenterial filaments to defend their territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224924459063,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-KJSM","price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/9e8c247d-0012-4b75-8d91-6adf3808c6ef-_MG_5265.png?v=1790278001","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/rainbow-lobophyllia-4","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
