Overview
The Hellfire Eclipse Torch Coral is a rare and mesmerizing Euphyllia variant, displaying brilliant golden-yellow tentacles that radiate like fire, contrasted by a glowing neon green mouth. This dramatic color combination makes it a centerpiece coral in any reef tank. Its long, flowing polyps create a dynamic effect as they sway with the current, adding both movement and vibrancy to the aquarium.
Care & Feeding
To maintain its brilliant coloration and flowing tentacles, the Hellfire Eclipse Torch requires moderate to high lighting. A moderate to strong water flow is essential for keeping the coral clean and encouraging full polyp extension.
Though it primarily derives energy through photosynthesis, it benefits from occasional feedings of mysis shrimp, rotifers, or high-quality coral foods to enhance its growth and glow. Keeping calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels stable is vital for supporting its skeletal development and overall health.
