Gold Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) – Grade A Frag
The Gold Torch Coral is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles with vibrant golden tips. This Grade A frag is cultured and carefully grown to ensure healthy growth and vibrant colouration, making it an excellent addition to any marine reef aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral care.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum will help maintain the coral’s vibrant colour and health.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal. Strong direct currents can cause the tentacles to retract and stress the coral.
Placement: Position the Gold Torch Coral in an area with enough space to allow its tentacles to extend without touching neighbouring corals, as it can be aggressive and may sting nearby specimens. Mid to lower levels of the tank are preferred.
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 to promote growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggression.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger to provide stable water parameters and adequate space.
Origin: Cultured (DJM Grown) – sustainably propagated in captivity.
Maximum Size: Can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
This cultured Gold Torch Coral frag is an excellent choice for reef enthusiasts seeking a vibrant, flowing coral that adds movement and colour to their marine aquarium. Regular monitoring of water quality and stable parameters will ensure long-term health and growth.
