This species belongs to the Nephtheidae family and features tightly clustered polyps that sway gently with water flow, creating an elegant underwater landscape.

Aquarium Care Requirements:
Lighting: Japanese Lemnalia Coral thrives under moderate lighting. LED or T5 lighting that provides a balanced spectrum helps maintain its vibrant coloration without causing stress or bleaching.
Water Flow: It prefers gentle to moderate water flow, which allows the feathery polyps to sway naturally. Strong currents can damage tissue or inhibit polyp extension.
Placement: Place in the middle to lower areas of the tank on stable rock surfaces or branches. Ensure enough space for expansion and prevent contact with more aggressive corals.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of planktonic foods, such as phytoplankton or small meaty particles, to support growth and vibrancy.
Aggression: Japanese Lemnalia is generally non-aggressive and peaceful, making it compatible with many other corals in community reef tanks.
