Care requirements

Flow : Gentle to Moderate Flow

Lighting : 125-200 PAR is ideal

Placement : Middle of the scape

 

Torch coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) is a beautiful and moderately challenging LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral that requires stable water conditions and proper placement to thrive. Here’s a detailed care guide:

1. Placement & Lighting

• Lighting: Moderate to high (PAR 100-200). Too much light can cause bleaching, while too little can lead to poor growth.

• Placement: Mid to lower areas of the tank with space around it. Torch corals have long, stinging sweeper tentacles that can harm nearby corals.

2. Water Flow

• Moderate, indirect flow: Gentle but varied water movement helps prevent detritus buildup and allows tentacles to sway naturally.

• Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause tissue damage or stress.

3. Water Parameters

• Temperature: 76-80°F (24-27°C)

• pH: 8.1-8.4

• Salinity: 1.025 specific gravity (~35 ppt)

• Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH

• Calcium: 400-450 ppm

• Magnesium: 1250-1350 ppm

• Nitrates: 5-10 ppm (too low can starve the coral)

• Phosphates: 0.01-0.05 ppm (avoid excessive levels to prevent algae growth)

4. Feeding

• Torch corals host symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefit from supplemental feeding.

• Feed 1-2 times per week:

• Meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or krill.

• Reef-specific foods like Reef Roids or other powdered coral foods.

5. Compatibility & Tank Mates

• Avoid aggressive corals: Torch corals have long, stinging tentacles that can damage other corals.

• Compatible with: Other Euphyllia species (frogspawn, hammer corals), clownfish (which may host in it), and peaceful reef-safe fish.

• Avoid: Aggressive fish or invertebrates that may nip at the coral (e.g., certain angelfish or butterflyfish).

6. Preventing & Treating Common Issues

• Brown Jelly Disease: A bacterial infection that looks like a brown, gelatinous mass. If spotted, remove the affected area immediately and improve water quality.

• Tissue Recession: Can be caused by poor water parameters, pests, or too much direct flow.

• Flatworms & Pests: Inspect new corals before adding them to your tank and consider dipping them in coral-safe solutions.

7. Propagation

• Torch corals can be fragged by carefully cutting their branching skeleton at least an inch below the polyp to avoid damage.

With stable conditions and proper care, torch corals can thrive and grow, adding beautiful movement and color to your reef tank.
