Neon Splatter Trachy

About this coral

Neon Splatter Trachy is an LPS (large polyped stony) coral marketed by AquaSD under the shop name “Neon Splatter Trachy.” In reef aquariums, trachy-type LPS are kept for their fleshy, textured polyps and their ability to respond to stable conditions, appropriate placement, and thoughtful feeding. Use this coral as a centerpiece “open brain” style LPS that’s typically placed low in the tank and maintained with gentle flow and lighting that’s not overly intense, following general Trachyphyllia (trachy) group-level husbandry guidance.

Features:

• Generally suited to low to moderate water flow so the polyps remain expanded without being directly blasted by current.
• Often kept under lower light compared with many SPS corals; sources describe PAR guidance in the moderate range for trachy-type care.
• Benefits from feeding with appropriately sized meaty foods; LPS feeding is commonly done to support full polyp expansion.
• Best placed where it can be stable on the substrate (avoid rough handling), since physical stress can lead to tissue problems.
• A reef-appropriate approach is to maintain stable reef parameters and avoid sudden swings, which are commonly linked to stress and retraction in LPS.
• If you target-feed, keep food placement controlled so the coral gets the food and uneaten food doesn’t build up.
