The Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) is a popular large-polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its long, flowing tentacles and bright, contrasting tips.
Care Requirements at a Glance
Lighting (PAR): 100 to 200 µmol
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, indirect, and randomized
Temperature: 76°F to 80°F
Salinity: 1.025 to 1.026 SG
Alkalinity: 8 to 9 dKH
Calcium: 400 to 450 ppm
Magnesium: 1300 to 1500 ppm
Nitrate / Phosphate: Measurable levels required (Nitrate 5–15 ppm, Phosphate 0.03–0.10 ppm)
Placement and Temperament
Spacing: Give them 4 to 10 inches of clearance from other corals. They deploy long sweeper tentacles at night and possess a potent sting.
Compatibility: Do not place them close to hammer or frogspawn corals, as they can sting each other despite being related.
Feeding and Health
Diet: While they get most of their energy from light via symbiotic zooxanthellae, they benefit from weekly target feeding with small meaty foods like mysis or brine shrimp.
Common Risks: They are sensitive to water chemistry swings and are prone to brown jelly disease, a fast-spreading bacterial infection.
