Info

Echinophyllia glabra Nemenzo, 1959

It is basically a species that keeps well and is best not established in too bright a light and can be given a medium to strong current.

As always, there should be no direct current, and like almost all large polyp stony corals, they like it when they can catch fine food.
The food has an influence on better growth and coloration. However, the zooxanthellae provide most of their nutrition.
