How to Choose a Healthy Lobophyllia Coral
- Color Intensity:
Choose corals with deep, saturated colors — reds, greens, oranges, and blues should appear rich and consistent. Dull or faded colors may indicate recent stress, often due to poor lighting acclimation or shipping conditions.
- Polyp Inflation:
Healthy Lobos will display full, fleshy polyps that extend beyond the skeleton. Avoid specimens that appear shriveled, deflated, or show prominent skeletal ridges, as these may be struggling to recover from stress.
- Tissue Recession:
Inspect the base and edges for any signs of tissue loss or exposed skeleton. Even small areas of recession can take months to heal, and may indicate underlying health issues or past damage.
