Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Orange-Pink Tip Torch Coral, is a medium-sized large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles tipped with vibrant orange-pink hues. This coral adds dynamic movement and colour to mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, ideally provided by LED or T5 fixtures designed for reef tanks. Avoid sudden intense light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is best to allow the tentacles to sway naturally without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral in a location with enough space to accommodate its extended tentacles, ensuring it is not too close to neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Mid to lower levels of the aquarium are suitable.
Care Level: Moderate. Euphyllia glabrescens requires stable water parameters and regular monitoring to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as brine shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral can extend sweeper tentacles that may sting nearby corals.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (approximately 20 gallons) to provide sufficient space and stable water conditions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically reaches up to 30 cm in tentacle length.
