WHY SHOULD I BUY THIS CORAL?
The Superman Symphyllia is a striking LPS coral prized for its bold colour contrast, typically featuring a deep red to maroon base accented by vivid blue, teal, or turquoise valleys—reminiscent of the iconic “Superman” colour palette. With its large, fleshy, meandering polyps and strong fluorescence under blue lighting, this coral delivers impressive presence and texture, making it an excellent centrepiece for lower areas of the reef.

WATER REQUIREMENTS & GENERAL CARE

• Temperature: 24–27 °C
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026 (32–35 ppt)
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: 8–9 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Stable parameters are essential to maintain tissue health, colour intensity, and steady skeletal growth.

---

LIGHTING
• Low–Moderate
• PAR Range: 50–120 PAR

Lower to moderate lighting helps preserve rich coloration and prevents tissue stress. Gradual acclimation is recommended when adjusting light levels.

---

PLACEMENT
• Bottom / Lower rockwork

Best placed on the sandbed or low rockwork with full skeletal support. Ensure adequate space for tissue expansion and growth.

---

FLOW
• Low

Gentle, indirect flow allows the fleshy tissue to inflate fully without tearing or excessive retraction.

---

FEEDING
• Photosynthetic: Benefit from feeding
Recommended feeding schedule:
• 1–2 times per week
Accepted foods:
• Finely chopped mysis or brine shrimp
• LPS pellets
• Reef roids or fine powdered coral foods
• Liquid coral foods or amino acids

Regular feeding supports thicker tissue, improved growth rate, and enhanced colour vibrancy.
