Euphyllia glabrescens, also known as the Torch coral, is a branching LPS coral with long tentacles that move gracefully in the current. The tentacles end in round or slightly tapering tips, and the coloration varies between green, gold, yellow, purple, and various combinations.
As it grows, the Torch coral forms new coral heads at the ends of its branching calcareous skeleton. Its care requirements are similar to Hammer and Frogspawn corals, but it is often more aggressive.
• Branching LPS coral
• Long tentacles that move in the current
• Forms new, separate coral heads as it grows
• Available in many vibrant color variations
• Can grow long sweeper tentacles and damage nearby corals
Light: Low to moderate, around 50–150 PAR. Torch corals do not require intense lighting and can open well even in somewhat subdued light. Acclimatize new corals to stronger lighting gradually.
Flow: Moderate to strong and variable. The tentacles should move clearly in the current, but continuous strong direct flow should be avoided. If the tissue is constantly pressed against the skeleton, the flow is too strong.
Placement: Leave plenty of clear space around the coral. Torch corals can grow long sweeper tentacles whose stinging cells can harm other corals.
Feeding: Obtains a large part of its energy through photosynthetic symbiotic algae, but also benefits from direct feeding. Small pellets, mysis, and other protein-rich foods suitable for LPS corals are appropriate for feeding. Torch corals do not always grasp food as actively as many other LPS corals.
Temperature: 24–26 °C
Salinity: 34–35 ppt
KH: 7–9 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 mg/l
Magnesium: 1250–1400 mg/l
Nitrate: 2–15 mg/l
Phosphate: 0.03–0.15 mg/l
pH: 8.0–8.4
Torch corals build a calcareous skeleton, so the stability of KH, calcium, and magnesium, in particular, is important. Stability of water parameters is more important than hitting a precise single target value.
