Overview
The 24K Torch Coral, also known in some markets as the Gold Finger Torch, is a bold Euphyllia glabrescens morph prized for its luxurious gold-bronze tentacles tipped with glowing yellow. Under blue spectrum lighting, the tips radiate a luminous pastel yellow, offering an eye-catching accent against the deeper body colour.
This torch variant offers the perfect balance of intensity and warmth, making it a popular choice among reef aquarists aiming to add depth and glow to their coral scape.
Care & Feeding
As a member of the Euphyllia family, the 24K Torch benefits from stable conditions and gentle care. Ensure moderate to high light and occasional target feeding with reef-specific blends like reef roids or powdered plankton to maintain its colour vibrancy and promote healthy growth.
Maintain space between this coral and other specimens, as its long sweeper tentacles are capable of stinging and damaging nearby tissue.
