Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Lobophyllia corymbosa are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Lobophyllia corymbosa, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Lobophyllia corymbosa, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Es handelt sich um eine sehr empfehlenswerte und wunderschöne Art, die unter Blaulicht sehr gut zur Geltung kommt.

Licht: Eher weniger, als ich sie zu hoch unter eine LED-Lampe setzte, wurde sie teilweise verbrannt, Teile der Polypen bleichten aus, als ich sie tiefer setzte, erholte sich die Koralle.

Strömung: Wie viele großpolypige Korallen eher vorsichtig!

Futter: Die Art kann sehr gut zugefüttert werden. Bewährt hat sich bei mir bei den meisten LPS "Fauna Marin Ultra-LPS". Wenn L. corymbosa 3-4 Tage gefüttert wird, steht sie deutlich besser da.

Vermehrung: Bei mir sind zwar die einzelnen Polypen deutlich gewachsen, sie haben sich bisher leider aber noch nicht vermehrt.

eine seltene und wunderschöne tiefwasserart. es existieren farbmorphen, die high-end-acanthastreas im nichts nachstehen.

licht: wenig bis mittel
strömung: wenig bis mittel
füttern: nur bei wenig licht. nimmt nur kleine sorten und frisst recht langsam.

scheint nicht sehr stark zu nesseln und bildet nur kurze tentakeln aus. wächst langsam.
