Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as the Torch Coral, is a stunning LPS coral prized for its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant orange-yellow coloration. This frag is cultured and carefully grown to ensure robust health and ease of acclimation in marine reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is ideal, such as T5s, LEDs, or metal halides, to maintain vibrant colouration and healthy growth.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is recommended to gently sway the tentacles without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to lower regions of the aquarium, ensuring adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; maintain sufficient spacing from other corals to avoid stinging with its sweeper tentacles.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods can enhance growth and colour.
This frag is a cultured specimen, grown under controlled conditions to promote sustainability and reduce wild collection impact.
