Sun Drop Torch Euphyllia Coral

Sun Drop Torch Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Sun Drop Torch Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia torch coral with moderate care requirements. This Euphyllia LPS coral suits reef keepers prepared to provide moderate lighting, gentle varied movement, and stable conditions. Its torch form brings flowing polyp movement to lower and middle reef areas while requiring thoughtful spacing from neighboring 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 final intensity. Observe polyp response before making additional changes, particularly after moving the coral within the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that gently moves the polyps. Avoid strong direct flow, which can blast the coral and prevent a comfortable response.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around it. Allow time to acclimate after placement, then make changes only if its response suggests they are needed.

Temperament

Leave generous spacing between this coral and neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and may sting nearby specimens, so account for polyp reach when planning placement.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response after feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp extension and overall appearance as the coral settles, adjusting lighting, flow, or placement gradually when needed.

Provide stable conditions, indirect flow, and generous room from neighboring corals.
