Euphyllia Inflation

[ccole]

Hi everyone,

I keep primarily euphyllia and was wondering what determines how much a euphyllia head inflates. It seems like after about a week or two, a new coral inflates to about twice the size it was at the fish store.

I would assume it’s primarily due to light and flow, but I was wondering if there’s any other variable? Is it a sign the coral isn’t getting enough light?

I saw a video from Fragbox (I think) and they said they like an elevated level of Magnesium.

Skip to around 14 minutes.

I always kept my magnesium high. And they would get huge.

Just being left alone in a stable place with okay flow and deep blues will make them very happy. But it takes a few days to several weeks sometimes.
