For the Anchor Coral Euphyllia, they are predominatly colored green with light brown tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Anchor Coral Euphyllia:
- Calcium: 420 - 440 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1260 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 -10
- Temperature: 75° - 80° F (24° - 27° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
- pH: 8.1 - 8.4
