The Sunrise name reflects its contrasting warm, bright colouration, which becomes particularly striking under blue-spectrum reef lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly shortened to \"Lobo\" in the reef hobby, \u003cem\u003eLobophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e are often known as Lobed Brain Corals. As they grow, their valleys and ridges develop into substantial, heavily textured colonies, while the living tissue inflates to give them their characteristic full appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eLobophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e sp.

Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, moderate lighting and occasional feeding provide excellent conditions for developing a large, colourful colony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627175469392,"sku":"THRC-0026","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/aussie-sunrise-lobophyllia-39","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
