The Holy Grail: A Stunning Torch Coral for Your Aquarium

Discover the vibrant allure of the Holy Grail Torch Coral, a highly sought-after variety of *Fimbriaphyllia paraancora* celebrated for its brilliant coloration and flowing tentacles.

Overview

The Holy Grail Torch Coral (*Fimbriaphyllia paraancora*) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral, instantly recognizable by its long, flowing tentacles that end in distinctive hammer or anchor shapes. This variant is prized for its exceptional gold coloration, bringing a dynamic and lively presence to any reef aquarium. It gracefully sways with moderate water flow, creating a mesmerizing display. Be aware that it possesses sweeper tentacles, which it uses for defense, so give it ample space.

Care Level

Considered moderate to advanced, the Holy Grail Torch Coral requires stable water parameters and a mature, well-established reef aquarium. While generally hardy, it is more sensitive to parameter fluctuations than standard torch corals, necessitating consistent conditions for optimal health.

Tank Essentials

This coral thrives in aquariums with a minimum volume of 150 litres. Maintain stable water parameters, including a pH range of 8.1–8.4, salinity of 1.024–1.026, and alkalinity between 8–9.5 dKH. Stable temperatures between 24–27°C are crucial.

Diet

While the Holy Grail Torch Coral derives some energy from its symbiotic zooxanthellae through photosynthesis, it benefits significantly from supplemental feedings of finely chopped meaty foods or specialized LPS coral foods.
