Inferno Torch Euphyllia Torch Coral - Care Requirements

Inferno Torch Euphyllia Torch Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with long, flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral brings the recognizable movement of a torch coral to a reef display. Its placement, flow, and spacing should be planned around its fleshy polyps and stinging potential.

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. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter conditions, then observe polyp extension and overall response before changing placement.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving gently without blasting the tissue with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with room around the coral, secure the specimen, and allow time to adjust before relocating.

Temperament

Give it generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting neighbors, particularly when their polyps extend or flow shifts within the aquarium.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently and avoid overwhelming the polyps with excess food or flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and monitor polyp extension and tissue condition as it settles in.

Plan its placement carefully and leave room for safe polyp extension.
