Acanthophyllia Corals: Fleshy LPS Showpieces for Reef Aquariums

Acanthophyllia corals bring bold color, inflated texture, and premium centerpiece appeal to reef aquariums. At Corals Depot, each Acanthophyllia coral is selected for health, coloration, and strong tissue condition. Also known as meat coral, donut coral, or button coral, this large polyp stony coral is loved for its round fleshy body, dramatic patterns, and standout presence on the sand bed.

This unique LPS coral can become a beautiful display piece in a saltwater aquarium when given stable water parameters, gentle water flow, and low to moderate lighting. Acanthophyllia deshayesiana is popular with reef hobbyists who want a single coral with strong visual impact, rich color, and soft expansion. Whether you are looking for a WYSIWYG Acanthophyllia, colorful meat coral, or rare fleshy coral for your reef tank, these corals are best placed where their tissue has room to expand without rubbing against rock or nearby corals.

Care Tips:

• Place Acanthophyllia corals on the sand bed or smooth lower rockwork.
• Use low to moderate light and gentle, indirect water movement.
• Feed occasionally with small meaty foods or coral food.
• Maintain stable water quality and give the fleshy tissue room to expand.
