Overview
The Holy Grail Torch Coral is a highly sought-after morph of Euphyllia glabrescens, renowned for its luminous yellow-green tentacles capped with vivid blue tips. This captivating coloration imparts an ethereal glow under appropriate lighting, making it a centerpiece in any reef aquarium. Its dynamic movement and expansive tentacles not only add visual appeal but also bring a sense of vitality to the aquatic environment.
Care & Feeding
Thriving under stable water parameters, this torch coral benefits from moderate to high lighting. Regular supplementation of calcium, magnesium, amino acids, and trace elements supports its growth and vibrant coloration. While it primarily relies on photosynthesis, occasional feedings with planktonic foods or specialized coral foods like reef roids can promote enhanced polyp extension and overall health.
Given its aggressive nature, ensure adequate spacing to prevent its long, stinging tentacles from harming neighboring corals.
