The Neon Aussie Banana Elegance (\u003cem\u003eCatalaphyllia jardinei\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the most visually arresting specimens available in the saltwater aquarium trade — sourced from Australian waters where color morphs reach an intensity simply not found in Indo-Pacific alternatives. That signature banana-yellow core, ringed with electric neon green tentacle tips, makes this a genuine showpiece in any marine aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElegance corals are large-polyp stony (LPS) corals with a sweeping, dramatic extension that can easily double or triple their skeletal footprint when fully open — plan your aquascape accordingly and give this specimen the space it deserves. Despite a reputation for being temperamental, Australian specimens are widely regarded as far hardier and more forgiving than their counterparts, rewarding attentive aquarists with steady growth and an almost mesmerizing feeding response when target-fed meaty foods. Watching this coral come alive at feeding time is one of the genuine privileges of keeping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003eNeon Aussie Banana Elegance Coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003eAvailable size listed at checkout (typically 3–5 inches across skeleton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003eModerate — Australian specimens recommended for intermediate to experienced reef keepers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003eSemi-aggressive — possesses long sweeper tentacles; keep well spaced from neighboring corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003ePhotosynthetic and carnivorous; benefits greatly from weekly target feeding of mysis shrimp, silversides, or meaty marine pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003eWith caution — sweeper tentacles can sting neighboring corals; placement distance is essential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003eTemp 76–79°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | Alkalinity 8–10 dKH | Calcium 420–450 ppm | Low to moderate flow; prefers sandy substrate placement with moderate indirect lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Elegance coral at The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced through fully licensed Australian collection channels, individually quarantined, and carefully conditioned in our Miami facility until it is actively extending and feeding before it ever ships to you.
