Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Green Torch Coral, is a stunning large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant green colouration. This premium tiny-sized specimen is tank-bred, ensuring hardiness and responsible sourcing for your marine aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems 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 a location with ample space to accommodate its extended tentacles. Maintain at least 10-15 cm distance from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Euphyllia species possess sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive or fast-growing corals.
This tiny premium specimen is an excellent choice for adding dynamic movement and colour to a mature reef tank. Tank-bred origin ensures acclimatisation to aquarium conditions and reduces wild collection impact.
