Cristata Euphyllia Coral

About Cristata Euphyllia Coral

Euphyllia cristata, often called grape coral, is a branching relative of torch and hammer corals with shorter, stubbier tentacles tipped in a contrasting colour. It stays more compact than a torch, which makes it a good Euphyllia for smaller reef tanks. Each branch ends in a single polyp, and new heads split off as the colony matures.
