Indo Cultured Australomussa

About this coral

Indo Cultured Australomussa is an LPS coral offered under the shop’s name, “Indo Cultured Australomussa.” In current taxonomy, Australomussa rowleyensis is commonly treated as Lobophyllia rowleyensis, but this listing is best used as a group-level guide for Australomussa/Lobophyllia-type LPS care rather than a guarantee of a specific scientific species for your exact specimen. Place it as a centerpiece-worthy fleshy-polyp coral in a compatible reef aquarium where you can keep stable chemistry and provide gentle, detritus-shedding flow.

Features:

• LPS coral with large, fleshy polyps over a hard skeleton—an eye-catching addition to reef setups
• Generally easy to moderate within the LPS group when provided stable conditions
• Benefits from low to moderate lighting and moderate/gentle flow; excessive flow can damage tissue
• May appreciate regular feedings (frozen foods and/or specialized LPS dry foods) if you want strong health and growth support
• Often does well when positioned to help prevent detritus buildup around its skeleton
• Because LPS can be competitive, plan spacing so stinging/sweeper tentacles don’t contact neighbors
• For feeding, many aquarists reduce flow briefly so food can settle and be captured by the coral

Specifications:
