Dragon tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with long, flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG torch coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and room for its polyps to move without contacting nearby corals.

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 introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe polyp extension and overall response before making further changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps while avoiding strong direct flow that can cause stress or prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it unless its response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighbors. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep its polyps well clear of nearby corals and account for their movement in flow.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered as an optional supplement. Feed carefully and observe its response, while maintaining good overall reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp extension, placement, flow response, and surrounding coral spacing regularly so adjustments can be made gradually.

Provide stable care, indirect flow, and ample space for long-term success.
