Overview
The Dragon Soul Torch coral is a legendary showpiece among Euphyllia glabrescens specimens. Its vivid green and gold tentacles, often tipped in deep purple or blue, evoke the mystique of a dragon’s flame. This morph stands out as one of the most sought-after torch corals due to its rare colour contrast and hypnotic polyp motion.
Under reef lighting, especially under actinics, the coral’s neon intensity intensifies, giving your aquarium a mythical aura that captivates both novice and expert reef keepers.
Care & Feeding
Like all torch corals, the Dragon Soul is photosynthetic, but benefits from supplemental feeding. Target feeding with fine meaty foods or plankton-based coral diets encourages growth, extension, and deepens colour vibrancy.
Due to its aggressive nature and long sweeper tentacles, it requires space away from neighbouring corals to avoid chemical and physical stinging.
Optimal Parameters

Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Place the Dragon Soul Torch coral at the bottom to mid-level of your tank, ensuring it receives moderate, indirect water flow and strong lighting for best polyp movement and coloration. Avoid high flow or shadows, and ensure no aggressive corals are too close.
