Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Green Torch Coral, is a spectacular large-polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant green hues. This premium large specimen is ideal for marine aquarists looking to add dynamic movement and colour to their reef aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage. Avoid strong direct currents.
Placement: Position this coral in a mid to lower area of the tank where it has room to extend its tentacles freely. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Reef safe with caution. Euphyllia glabrescens can exhibit aggressive sweeper tentacles that may sting nearby corals, so maintain sufficient spacing.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (20 gallons) or larger to provide adequate space and stable water conditions.
This premium large green Euphyllia glabrescens is sourced responsibly and acclimatised for UK marine aquarium conditions, making it a standout addition to your reef collection.
