Euphyllia glabrescens (Hellfire) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its long, flowing tentacles that resemble flickering flames. This tiny Tank-Bred specimen is an excellent choice for marine aquarists looking to add vibrant colour and movement to their reef aquarium.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems providing 100-150 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to gently sway the tentacles without causing damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the tank, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions due to its sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Intermediate. Requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near other aggressive corals.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30cm (12 inches) in diameter under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide sufficient space and stable water quality.
Regular water changes, stable salinity (1.023-1.025), temperature (24-27°C), and calcium levels (400-450 ppm) will support healthy growth.
