Torch Coral

Torch Coral

Euphyllia glabrescens

Torch Coral is one of the most beloved LPS corals, named for its long, flowing tentacles tipped with a contrasting color that sway like flames in gentle current. Available in a variety of color morphs from classic gold-tipped green to ultra-rare 'gold torch' variants. Keep in moderate, indirect flow with medium lighting and give plenty of lateral space, as its sweeper tentacles will sting nearby corals.
