Overview
The Holy Grail Torch Coral is a highly sought-after Euphyllia glabrescens morph known for its radiant golden-yellow tentacles paired with luminous green tips. This striking colour combination gives the coral an almost ethereal glow under proper lighting, making it a prized specimen for reefkeepers looking to add a regal touch to their tanks.
With its dynamic movement and expansive tentacles, the Holy Grail Torch commands attention, blending vibrant colour with elegant sway. It thrives in well-maintained reef systems and is ideal for hobbyists who appreciate both beauty and moderate care requirements.
Care & Feeding
This torch coral thrives under stable water parameters with moderate to high lighting. Like other Euphyllia species, it benefits from occasional feeding of planktonic foods or specially formulated coral foods such as reef roids, promoting growth, colour saturation, and healthy polyp extension.
Ensure adequate spacing to prevent its long, stinging tentacles from harming neighbouring corals.
