Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Torch Coral, is a popular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and striking orange-pink tips. This frag is tank-bred, ensuring a healthy, sustainably sourced specimen ideal for reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, such as T5s, LEDs, or metal halides, to maintain vibrant coloration and healthy growth.
Water Flow: Provide moderate, indirect water flow to allow the tentacles to sway naturally without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral in the mid to lower regions of the aquarium where it has ample space to extend its tentacles without touching neighbouring corals, as it can be aggressive and cause tissue damage.
Care Level: Moderate. Regular water quality maintenance and stable parameters are essential for optimal health.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals due to its sweeper tentacles. Avoid placing near delicate or slow-growing species.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods.
Origin: Tank-bred in controlled aquaculture facilities, ensuring disease-free and environmentally responsible sourcing.
Maximum Size: Colonies can grow up to 30cm (12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
