🧬 Overview
This Euphyllia glabrescens “Pink Tip Black Torch” stands out for its dramatic combination of very dark tentacles and contrasting fluorescent pink tips.
The deep coloration of the tentacles creates an almost black appearance under blue spectrum lighting, providing an exceptional background for the brighter pink tips. As the polyps extend and move with the flow, the contrast becomes even more noticeable, giving the coral a distinctive and elegant appearance.
With 1–2 heads, this specimen is an excellent compact Torch with plenty of potential for future growth and branching.

📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Best placed in the low to middle areas of the reef with moderate, indirect flow. The tentacles should remain in constant gentle movement without being aggressively pushed to one side.
Allow generous space around the coral, as Euphyllia glabrescens can extend long sweeper tentacles capable of stinging neighbouring corals.
