Inferno Torch Euphyllia Coral

Inferno Torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Inferno Torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with long, flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral brings the distinctive movement associated with torch corals to a reef aquarium. Its flowing polyp form makes placement, flow direction, and spacing important parts of long-term care.

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. Begin with a gentler introduction to the chosen area, then observe polyp extension and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that allows the polyps to move naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the tissue from extending comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate it gradually to its final lighting and flow conditions rather than making abrupt changes.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential and are aggressive, so keep their flowing polyps well clear of other specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any offered food should be delivered carefully without blasting the coral with flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Watch polyp extension and tissue condition after placement or adjustments, making changes slowly when flow or lighting appears unsuitable.

Give this torch coral room, stable conditions, and indirect water movement.
