Mardi Gra Torch Euphyllia Coral is a WYSIWYG Euphyllia torch coral. This Euphyllia LPS coral suits reef keepers ready to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and adequate room for its tentacles 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 and acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. Watch its response before making further lighting or placement adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that gently moves the tentacles. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause excessive stress or prevent the coral from settling comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time for acclimation after introduction, then adjust placement gradually only if its response suggests a change is needed.

Temperament

Provide generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and have stinging potential, so keep moving tentacles clear of other specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, though occasional meaty foods may be offered. Avoid overfeeding and maintain good water quality around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Regularly observe tentacle movement, placement response, and spacing from nearby corals. Consistent maintenance and gradual adjustments support this moderate-care coral.

Keep conditions stable, flow indirect, and neighboring corals well spaced.
