Hollywood Stunner Echinophyllia: A Jewel for Your Reef Aquarium!

Bring vibrant color and unique texture to your reef with the stunning Hollywood Stunner coral. This eye-catching LPS coral is a popular choice for aquarists seeking beauty and resilience.

Overview

The Hollywood Stunner coral, scientifically known as *Echinophyllia echinata* (though often grouped with similar species like *Echinopora lamellosa* in trade), presents a captivating display of color and form. Typically featuring green polyps atop a purplish base with a striking green rim, it showcases a plating or encrusting growth habit. Its thin, delicate structures can create beautiful layered tiers, making it a unique addition to any established reef ecosystem. This coral is known for its moderate growth rate and its ability to add significant visual appeal.

Care Level

Beginner to Intermediate. The Hollywood Stunner is a relatively hardy LPS coral, forgiving of minor fluctuations. However, it can be aggressive, extending sweeper tentacles that may harm neighboring corals, so careful placement is essential for a peaceful community tank.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a pH of 8.1–8.4, salinity of 1.023–1.026, and a temperature range of 23–27°C (74–80°F).

Diet

While photosynthetic, the Hollywood Stunner benefits greatly from supplemental feeding. Offer small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or brine shrimp 1-3 times per week to enhance coloration and growth.
