Catalaphyllia jardinei XXL – Catalaphyllia jardinei LPS, also known as an elegance coral.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 1466-L. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Size stated in the offer: 25 cm.
Light: low to moderate; acclimate gradually to the new lighting. Flow: moderate and indirect; do not continuously press soft tissue against the skeleton.
On a secure, smooth support low in the reef, with room for expansion and tentacles.
Occasionally offer small meaty portions when feeding is visible; remove leftovers.
Keep the coral secure even when expanded. Do not glue soft tissue; keep neighbouring corals out of reach of its tentacles.
As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
For a consistent testing routine, see our reef water testing guide.
