🧬 Overview
The Pink Ember Torch Coral is an ultra rare Euphyllia morph, prized for its unique combination of jet-black tentacles and neon pink tips. The contrast creates an intense visual drama, especially under blue-heavy lighting, making this torch a true collector’s piece and a dynamic centerpiece for advanced reef systems.
🍽️ Feeding & Care
Primarily photosynthetic, but thrives with target feedings of mysis, krill, or other fine marine meaty foods 1–2 times weekly. Amino acid supplements and stable water chemistry help maintain the richness of the black base and fluorescence of the pink tips.
📈 Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.02–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Best suited for mid-to-low reef positions with steady, moderate flow. In actinic lighting, the pink tips glow like molten embers, while the black tentacles create dramatic contrast, offering a lava-meets-neon ultra effect.
