24K gold torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

24K gold torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with a WYSIWYG listing. This WYSIWYG 24K gold torch is an LPS coral for reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and thoughtful placement. Its torch form brings flowing polyp movement to lower and middle reef areas.

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 gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and adjust placement gradually rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving without blasting them from one direction; avoid strong direct flow.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive indirect flow, and acclimate gradually to its final lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep nearby specimens beyond reach of extended polyps.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are extended and avoid forcing food onto the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and watch polyp extension and tissue condition as you acclimate and position the coral.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gentle acclimation for long-term placement.
