Aussie Teal Splatter Trachy

About this coral

Aussie Teal Splatter Trachy is an LPS coral commonly sold under “trachy”/“wellsophyllia” sandbed types, known for fleshy tissue and a colorful look in reef aquariums. In practical terms, it’s a centerpiece-style coral you place on or near a sandbed and feed occasionally, while letting its light-driven growth and recovery be supported by stable reef water conditions.

Features:

• Fleshy sandbed LPS style coral, typically appreciated for its bold, textured appearance.
• Often best kept with gentle-to-moderate circulation so the tissue is not blasted.
• Benefits from moderate light so the coral can rely on photosynthesis while remaining comfortable.
• Helps to recreate a sandbed-friendly environment, with placement on sand or very low on the substrate.
• Regular, small feedings can supplement energy needs, in addition to light.
• Performs best with stable reef parameters, since LPS corals are sensitive to rapid swings.
