21 Tails torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

21 Tails torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with characteristic extended tentacles. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral requires moderate care and thoughtful reef placement. Its extended tentacles create natural movement, while its lighting, flow, spacing, and stable conditions should be considered before introduction.

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 brighter conditions. Observe its response after placement before making additional lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the tentacles moving gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can irritate the coral.

Placement

Place this torch in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves once it has settled.

Temperament

Give it generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and may sting nearby specimens, so keep extended tentacles clear of other coral placement zones.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional; appropriate lighting, indirect flow, placement, and stable reef conditions remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe tentacle extension and overall response following adjustments to lighting, flow, placement, or maintenance routines, making changes gradually when needed.

Plan for spacing, indirect flow, and stable conditions from the start.
