The Vibrant Yellow Octospawn Coral: A Reef Aquarium Gem

Bring stunning colour and gentle movement to your reef with the captivating Yellow Fimbriaphyllia yaeyamaensis, a truly eye-catching LPS coral.

Overview

The Yellow Fimbriaphyllia yaeyamaensis, commonly known as the Yellow Octospawn, is a striking Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral. It is distinguished by its bubbly, feathery tentacles that sway gracefully in the current, resembling a cluster of delicate sea flowers. This vibrant yellow hue, often intensified under actinic lighting, makes it a standout piece in any marine aquarium. While it shares care similarities with hammer and torch corals, its unique tentacle structure sets it apart.

Care Level

This coral is considered to have an average care level. It’s generally hardy once established but can be sensitive to rapid changes in water parameters. It’s not overly aggressive but can extend sweeper tentacles, so provide adequate space from other corals.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 200 litres (approx. 44 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water conditions with a temperature of 24–27°C (75–82°F), a pH of 8.1–8.4, and salinity of 1.025 SG. Moderate to gentle water flow is ideal, with moderate lighting (PAR 80-150).

Diet

While Fimbriaphyllia yaeyamaensis benefits from photosynthesis via its zooxanthellae, supplemental feeding with zooplankton or finely chopped marine foods is recommended for optimal health.
