Keeping Euphyllia corals in a saltwater aquarium is usually uncomplicated, as with most LPS, because as LPS they have few demands on water quality and like to have more nutrients in the water. In overly clean water Euphyllia corals even often get sick.
Only the KH should be permanently and stably above 8, because they probably react sensitive to pH fluctuations or similar. When handling, one should always take care that the sharp skeleton does not damage the tender tissue, therefore gentle (but turbulent) current is best. The light requirements are weak to medium - about 50-120 PAR.
If Euphyllia frags are injured, they often have problems with bacterial infections or brown jelly - you should then treat them with an antibacterial dip or cut off the damaged area cleanly. When making frags, clean cuts made with a water-cooled band saw, Dremel, pliers or even hammer + chisel should be made, and those normally heal well if conditions are suitabln. So even the flabello-meandroid species are very often only seen as fragments in the trade.
