Fire And Ice Lobo

About this coral

Fire And Ice Lobo is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral for reef aquariums. As a “lobo,” it belongs to the group commonly kept for its fleshy, sculpted polyps and eye-catching appearance, making it a popular centerpiece coral for aquarists building an LPS-focused display. In use, it adds texture and movement as the polyps extend over the day, and it can be fed to support growth while also relying on its symbiotic zooxanthellae for energy in appropriate lighting.

Features:

• LPS coral with fleshy, colorful polyps—typical of lobos/related LPS groups
• Polyps generally extend for a visible, “alive” look that complements rockwork
• Works well in reef aquariums geared toward LPS, where stable conditions help it stay healthy
• Benefits from moderate water movement to keep detritus off the surface without blasting tissue
• Typically does best under moderate aquarium lighting suited to photosynthetic corals
• Can accept targeted feeding (e.g., small meaty foods) alongside light-driven energy
• A good option for aquarists who want a dramatic, textured coral that pairs well with other reef invertebrates (avoid direct tissue contact)

Specifications:

• Coral type: LPS coral (lobo group)
• Scientific name: UNVERIFIED
• Care guidance: Moderate (general LPS coral guidance)
• Lighting: Moderate reef lighting recommended (group-level guidance for photosynthetic LPS)
• Water flow: Moderate, indirect flow recommended (group-level guidance to avoid tissue stress)
• Placement: Secure on rock; keep enough space to reduce risk of neighboring coral contact
• Diet: Benefits from targeted feeding of appropriately sized meaty foods; also relies on symbiotic zooxanthellae (group-level guidance)
