Overview
The Dragon Soul Torch – Green Variant is a vibrant morph of Euphyllia glabrescens, admired for its deep olive-green tentacles and striking neon or gold tips. A variation of the original "Dragon Soul Torch", this colour morph leans towards cooler hues, giving it a mystical and slightly forest-toned aesthetic.
In the reef scene, this variant is often referred to as "Green Dragon Soul", "Jade Soul Torch" ou "Forest Flame Torch", e continua a ser altamente cobiçada por colecionadores de torches raros.
Like its classic counterpart, it delivers dramatic movement and bioluminescent-like vibrancy under actinic lighting.
Care & Feeding
This coral thrives under stable reef conditions with moderate to high PAR lighting. Supplemental feedings with microplankton, reef roids, or amino acid blends help maintain polyp health, growth, and tip brightness.
Its long, stinging tentacles require generous spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid damage.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Place in low to mid-levels of the reef tank in areas with moderate, oscillating flow that encourages natural sway without damaging the fleshy tentacles. Avoid strong, direct flow.
