Overview
The "Pink Tip Green Torch Euphyllia" is a stunning and vibrant coral that features a rich green base accented by striking pink tips on its tentacles. Known for its elegant, flowing appearance, the Pink Tip Green Torch is a favorite among reef enthusiasts for its bold color contrast and graceful movement in the water. Its captivating beauty and eye-catching colors make it an exceptional addition to any reef aquarium.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, this coral thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions and prefers moderate water flow, which allows its tentacles to sway gently and display the vivid pink tips. Due to its aggressive nature, it should be placed with sufficient space from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
While the Pink Tip Green Torch Euphyllia primarily relies on photosynthesis for nutrition, it also benefits from occasional feedings of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or zooplankton, which can help accelerate growth and enhance its vibrant color.
To ensure optimal health, it is crucial to maintain stable water parameters, particularly calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels to support skeletal development. Low nitrate and phosphate levels are also essential to prevent unwanted algae growth, helping the coral maintain its striking appearance.
The Pink Tip Green Torch Euphyllia comes unmounted, ready to be placed in the ideal location in your reef tank. Approximate size: 7 to 10 cm in diameter.
