Gold Torch Coral

About Gold Torch Coral

The Gold Torch (Euphyllia glabrescens) has long, slender tentacles in rich gold with brighter tips, and it is among the most sought-after torch colours. Torches are more aggressive than hammer or frogspawn corals and will sting other Euphyllia, so give this one its own rock. In steady, indirect flow the tentacles stream out like a flame.

Gold Torch Coral care at a glance

• Lighting: Moderate – roughly 100 to 200 PAR
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow that sways the tentacles without flattening them
• Placement: Lower to middle rockwork with 10 to 15 cm of space around it
• Feeding: Photosynthetic; enjoys small meaty foods such as mysis once or twice a week
