21 Tails torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

21 Tails torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with long, flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG LPS coral brings the distinctive motion of a torch coral to a reef aquarium. Its flowing polyps make it best suited to a thoughtfully spaced placement with appropriate indirect water movement.

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. Start with a lower-light placement and acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter areas of the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after introduction, and choose a secure location where its polyps can extend without contacting nearby corals.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep their reach in mind as polyps move with the current.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and gentle target feeding can help keep food from being swept away.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp extension and response to light and flow, then make adjustments gradually rather than changing multiple conditions at once.

Provide space, steady conditions, and indirect flow for long-term care.
