21 Tail Torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

21 Tail Torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with a WYSIWYG presentation. This LPS torch coral is offered as a WYSIWYG piece, so the coral shown is the one you receive. Its tentacles provide the familiar flowing form associated with torch corals in a reef aquarium.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Observe extension and response after placement, adjusting only slowly if needed.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the tentacles moving without blasting them. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep a torch coral from settling comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around the coral. Introduce it gradually and allow time to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighbors. Torch corals can sting nearby corals, so keep tentacles well clear of other specimens as they extend and move in the current.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid allowing uneaten food to collect around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Watch for consistent tentacle extension and tissue condition, then make corrections gradually rather than changing multiple conditions at once.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gentle adjustment time after introduction.
