Aussie Neon Splatter Trachy

About this coral

Aussie Neon Splatter Trachy is an LPS coral offered under the “Trachy” naming. In general reefkeeping, Trachyphyllia-type corals are fleshy, colorful sandbed/low-sediment corals that benefit from stable conditions and gentle placement so they can settle and extend their polyps. This coral is typically used as a display centerpiece in a mixed reef, where moderate light and calm water help it maintain health while relying on both photosynthesis and occasional feeding.

Features:

• Group-level LPS guidance: trachys are fleshy corals that display visible polyps when conditions are suitable
• Commonly kept as a sandbed/low-sediment coral, with placement that avoids constant uprooting or debris landing on it
• Benefits from gentle, not blasting, water movement to help deliver flow without stressing tissue
• Often thrives with moderate light and steady tank stability, supporting its photosynthetic needs
• Appreciates supplemental feeding (meaty foods) for added energy, especially in lower-light setups

Specifications:

• Care level (general guidance): Moderate; best in stable, established reef aquariums
• Light: Moderate (suitable for photosynthetic LPS; avoid intense direct blasting light)
• Water flow: Low to moderate, gentle and indirect
• Placement: Low in the tank where it can sit undisturbed (commonly on sandbed/low-sediment areas)
• Diet: Photosynthetic; supplemental feedings with small meaty foods can be provided
• Temperature: Approximately 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity: Approximately 1.024–1.026 SG
• pH: Approximately 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: Approximately 8–11 dKH
• Calcium: Approximately 350–450 ppm
• Magnesium: Approximately 1200–1400 ppm
