During daylight hours the mantle puffs out fully, and on a thriving colony you won't find any torn tissue or bare skeleton showing through the valleys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLobophyllia colonies are native to reef slopes and flats across the Indo-Pacific and Australian coastlines, where they tolerate moderate nutrient levels, lower-to-moderate lighting and gentle water movement. Replicate this in the tank with subdued-to-moderate light and soft flow so the fleshy body can expand properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike other large-polyp stony corals in this family, Lobophyllia is semi-aggressive and extends sweeper tentacles after dark to sting nearby corals, so give AA06 generous breathing room from its tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232753991971,"sku":"AA0276","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/lobophyllia-lobo-aa06-lobophyllia-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
