The Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Gold Torch Coral, is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles with bright golden tips. This Extra Large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage or excessive retraction.
Placement: Position this coral in the mid to lower regions of the tank where it has ample space to expand. Ensure a minimum of 10cm clearance from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions due to its sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Moderate. This coral requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional target feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or coral-specific liquid foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging neighbouring corals.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (approximately 24 gallons) to provide sufficient space and stable conditions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Up to 30cm in polyp extension under optimal conditions.
