Genus
Common name: Euphyllia Corals
Scientific name: Eurato
Euphyllia is a genus of large-polyped stony corals commonly known as Euphyllia Corals, which are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their flowing tentacles and vibrant colors. They include species like the Hammer Coral, Frogspawn Coral, and Torch Coral. These corals are known for their symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, which provide them with nutrients through photosynthesis. Euphyllia corals require moderate to high lighting and water flow, and they should be placed with care to avoid contact with other corals due to their aggressive nature.
