🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia “Azure Crown Torch” is a high-grade WYSIWYG morph prized for its crisp blue tips and saturated green tentacles, enhanced by a delicate golden undertone that gives it a luxurious, almost metallic finish. The contrast between cool blue, vivid green, and warm gold creates a layered colour profile that shifts beautifully with spectrum changes.
Each tentacle moves with slow, elegant motion, ending in luminous blue tips that draw the eye instantly — making this torch a true focal coral in any premium reef layout.
Each WYSIWYG head is hand-selected for:
• Intense, clean blue tip expression
• Strong emerald-green tentacle coloration with gold undertones
• Full, extended polyp structure
• Excellent tissue health and thick, solid base skeleton
• Proven stability under mixed-spectrum LEDs
A collector-grade torch that balances power, elegance, and refined colour contrast.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most torches, Azure Crown thrives mainly on photosynthesis but benefits from occasional feeding to boost growth and tip intensity.
Feed 1× weekly with:
• Finely chopped mysis or enriched brine
• Reef roids, coral blends, or microplankton
• Target-feed gently with flow paused for best capture 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
Allow 10–15 cm clearance from other corals — torches can extend long sweeper tentacles, especially at night.
Ensure gentle, pulsing flow to keep tentacles in natural motion without stressing the tissue.
Avoid sharp rock edges or direct laminar flow.
