• Feeding: Although Symphyllia corals are primarily photosynthetic, they appreciate occasional feedings with meaty foods like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods to boost their growth and colour.
• Placement Consideration: Due to their fleshy nature, these corals should be placed in areas of the tank where they have room to expand without being damaged by other corals or invertebrates.
