Dragon tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with long flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral brings the distinctive movement of a torch coral to a reef aquarium. Its flowing polyps make it best suited to a thoughtfully spaced location with suitable light and 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 position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching polyp extension and overall response.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle changing current should keep the polyps moving without blasting the coral or causing persistent retraction.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves or positions exposed to strong direct flow.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. Feed only when appropriate for the system, and avoid overfeeding or allowing excess food to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or chemistry, and observe polyp extension regularly for signs that placement or conditions need adjustment.

A carefully spaced, stable placement supports long-term torch coral care.
