The Gold Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) is a spectacular large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles with bright golden tips that add dynamic movement and colour to any marine reef aquarium. This Grade A Extra Large specimen offers exceptional quality and vibrant health, making it a premium choice for experienced aquarists.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position the Gold Torch Coral in a location with enough space to accommodate its extended tentacles, ensuring it does not come into contact with neighbouring corals to prevent aggression. Typically, mid to lower reef levels work well.
Care Level: Moderate. While hardy, this coral benefits from stable water parameters and regular feeding of meaty foods such as mysis or brine shrimp to promote growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals due to its sweeper tentacles which can sting nearby species.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality and calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels is important to support skeletal growth. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or those sensitive to stinging tentacles.
