Torch Coral: Bring Vibrant Movement to Your Reef Tank

The Torch Coral, *Euphyllia glabrescens*, captivates with its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant colors, adding mesmerizing movement to any reef aquarium.

Overview

The Torch Coral (*Euphyllia glabrescens*) is a striking large-polyp stony (LPS) coral, easily recognizable by its long, waving tentacles tipped with bright, often fluorescent, colors. These tentacles can extend significantly, especially at night, giving the coral its common name and a dynamic presence in the aquarium. Available in a range of colors including green, gold, purple, and blue, often with contrasting tentacle tips, this coral is a sought-after centerpiece for reef aquariums. It thrives in stable conditions and adds a unique visual appeal with its constant, gentle swaying in the water current.

Care Level

Torch Corals are considered moderately difficult to care for, requiring stable water parameters and attention to detail. They are semi-aggressive and possess long sweeper tentacles that can sting neighboring corals, necessitating careful placement.

Tank Essentials

Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 24-27°C (76-80°F), a salinity of 1.024-1.026, and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Moderate lighting (150-250 PAR) and indirect, moderate water flow are crucial. Ensure a minimum tank size of approximately 100 litres.

Diet

While Torch Corals derive energy from their symbiotic zooxanthellae, they benefit greatly from supplemental feedings of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialized LPS coral foods 1-2 times per week.
