Dragon Tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral

Dragon Tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Dragon Tamer Torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with long flowing polyps. This WYSIWYG LPS torch coral brings the distinct motion of Euphyllia polyps to a reef aquarium. Its care is moderate, with placement and flow choices that protect its fleshy tissue while allowing natural 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 the coral under gentler exposure when introducing it, then acclimate gradually to its final position to avoid sudden light changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. The polyps should move gently rather than being blasted by a direct stream, which can irritate fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to adjust after introduction, and avoid positioning it where direct flow or abrupt lighting shifts are likely.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby specimens, so keep its reach in mind as its polyps extend and move with the current.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done carefully when the polyps are extended without forcing food onto the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and observe polyp extension and tissue condition as the coral settles into its location.

Plan its space carefully and provide steady, indirect conditions for long-term care.
