🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia Torch “Dragon Soul” – Grade B is an excellent option for reefers who want the legendary Dragon Soul colour pattern at a more accessible tier. While not as intensely saturated or sharply contrasted as Grade A or collector-grade pieces, Grade B specimens still offer strong identity, healthy extension, and reliable colour stability.
Cut to Order (CTO) means frags are cut fresh from a healthy mother colony and allowed an appropriate healing period before shipment, ensuring safe transport and strong post-arrival recovery.
Each Grade B CTO frag is selected for:
-
Clear Dragon Soul colour expression (green base with orange/copper accents)
-
Healthy polyp extension and strong movement
-
Clean, well-formed skeletal cut
-
Proven long-term stability in reef aquariums
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Torch corals benefit from regular feeding to improve tissue thickness and colour depth.
Feed 1–2× weekly with:
-
Small meaty foods (mysis, artemia, calanus)
-
LPS coral foods
-
Target feed with flow reduced for best response
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in an area with gentle, indirect flow to allow long, fluid torch extension without tissue damage.
Keep generous spacing from other corals due to aggressive sweepers.
Ideal for mixed Euphyllia gardens or reefers who want a true Dragon Soul look without paying for ultra-high-end saturation grades.
