Overview
The Hellfire Torch Coral is a dazzling variant of Euphyllia glabrescens, known for its deep golden to bronze tentacles tipped in glowing pink. This rare morph exhibits intense contrast and captivating fluorescence under reef lighting, making it one of the most visually striking torches available on the market.
Often classified under elite trade names such as “Hellfire Torch” or “Inferno Torch”, this coral embodies both fire and elegance, ideal for collectors seeking bold centerpiece specimens.
Care & Feeding
As with other Euphyllia species, this torch coral thrives in stable, mature reef systems. Provide moderate to high lighting to bring out its full spectrum of colour. Regular feeding with planktonic coral food (e.g., reef roids) encourages enhanced growth, colour vibrancy, and polyp expansion.
Due to its potent stinging sweep, ensure generous spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent tissue 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
Best placed at the bottom to mid-level regions of the aquarium where it can enjoy steady, indirect flow that allows its tentacles to move fluidly. Avoid direct blasts from wavemakers or pumps.
