Acid Eyes Lobophyllia

About this coral

Acid Eyes Lobophyllia is a fleshy large-polyp stony (LPS) coral in the genus Lobophyllia, commonly called a lobo. It is offered as an ornamental coral for a reef aquarium. The shop description identifies lobos as colorful, fleshy corals; the name alone does not establish a particular species or documented color pattern. The care notes below are general guidance for Lobophyllia, not verified traits of a specific named morph.

Features:

• A fleshy LPS coral with prominent tissue-covered skeletal structures, rather than a soft coral.
• Suitable as a decorative coral for an established reef aquarium when its general care needs can be met.
• Generally benefits from moderate lighting; acclimate it gradually when changing its light exposure.
• Use gentle to moderate water movement so the tissue is not subjected to strong, direct flow.
• Allow space from neighboring corals, since LPS corals may extend stinging tentacles and can be damaged by contact.
• May accept small meaty aquarium foods; feeding is supplementary and should not leave uneaten food in the tank.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Lobophyllia genus; exact species and named-morph traits are not established by the product name.
• Care level: General Lobophyllia care is best suited to aquarists able to maintain stable reef conditions; individual needs can vary.
• Placement: A stable position in the lower or middle aquarium is a common starting point; adjust to the coral's response and available light.
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow; avoid persistent strong flow directly on the fleshy tissue.
• Lighting: Moderate lighting is a general starting point. Acclimate gradually rather than making abrupt changes.
• Diet: Photosynthetic coral; may also take small meaty foods. Remove leftovers to help maintain water quality.
• Species-specific size and parameters: Not established for this listing. Maintain stable, reef-appropriate water conditions rather than relying on undocumented morph-specific values.
