Radiant Lime Coral: A Jewel for Your Reef Aquarium

Add a stunning pop of vibrant color to your marine ecosystem with the Radiant Lime coral, a captivating addition to any reef tank.

Overview

The Radiant Lime coral, scientifically known as *Fimbriaphyllia cristata*, is a striking LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral prized for its robust, hammer-shaped tentacles that often possess vivid, lime-green tips. These corals form compact colonies with unique corallites and exude a gentle sway in moderate water flow, creating dynamic visual interest. Their appearance can range from pale grey to green, with contrasting tentacle colors adding to their allure.

Care Level

Caring for the Radiant Lime coral is considered moderate. While hardy once established, they require stable water parameters and are semi-aggressive, necessitating adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended. Stable water parameters are crucial, with ideal temperatures between 24-26°C (75-78°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and salinity around 1.026 SG. Moderate lighting (80-150 PAR) and gentle, indirect water flow are preferred.

Diet

While they possess symbiotic zooxanthellae, Radiant Lime corals benefit from regular supplemental feeding with small marine-based foods like mysis shrimp or specialized coral foods 1-2 times per week.
