Discover the vibrant allure of the Acanthophyllia deshayesiana, a stunning single-polyp coral that brings bold color and impressive tissue expansion to any established reef aquarium.<\/em><\/p>\n Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n Known by common names such as Meat Coral, Doughnut Coral, or Button Coral, *Acanthophyllia deshayesiana* is a large-polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its thick, fleshy tissue and striking coloration. These corals feature a single, large polyp that can inflate to several times its skeleton’s size, creating a dramatic, rounded appearance. Native to the Indo-Pacific, they inhabit deeper lagoonal areas and reef slopes with gentle currents. Their slow growth and unique aesthetic make them a captivating centerpiece coral for experienced aquarists.<\/p>\n Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n Moderate. While hardy, *Acanthophyllia deshayesiana* requires stable water parameters and specific conditions. Due to their fleshy tissue and unique morphology, they are best suited for aquarists with a good understanding of reef tank husbandry and a commitment to maintaining a consistent environment.<\/p>\n Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n A minimum tank size of 200 litres (50 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a salinity of 1.023-1.025, a pH of 8.0-8.4, and a temperature of 24-28\u00b0C (75-82\u00b0F). They thrive in low to moderate indirect water flow (1-2 WM) and low to moderate lighting (75-150 PAR), preferably placed on a sandbed or stable, smooth surface.<\/p>\n Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n Primarily photosynthetic, these corals benefit from supplemental feeding.
