Rainbow Lobos are particularly impressive once fully expanded, when their thick tissue brings the different colours together into a large, highly textured showpiece.\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. Their characteristic ridges and valleys become increasingly pronounced as they grow, eventually producing substantial colonies that can become a major feature of the reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eLobophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e sp.

Mysis, finely chopped seafood and suitable LPS foods can be offered when their feeding tentacles are extended.

Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, moderate lighting and occasional feeding provide excellent conditions for developing a large, colourful and impressive colony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627172553040,"sku":"THRC-0027","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/rainbow-lobophyllia-89","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
