🧬 Overview
The Hybrid Fusion Torch Coral is among the rarest Euphyllia morphs in existence, combining jet-black bases with ultra vibrant orange-gold tips. This striking fusion of dark and luminous tones creates a one-of-a-kind contrast rarely seen in torch corals. Its flowing, flame-like movement and intense coloration make it a true centerpiece specimen for collectors seeking something beyond the ordinary.
🍽️ Feeding & Care
Although photosynthetic, this coral thrives with 2–3 weekly feedings of meaty foods such as mysis, krill, or enriched brine. Supplemental amino acids and trace elements support growth and sustain the ultra metallic glow. Ensure generous spacing, as sweeper tentacles may extend several inches at night.
📈 Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.02–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Position in mid to lower reef zones with moderate flow to create dynamic swaying while preventing tissue stress. Under actinic or blue-dominant lighting, the orange-gold tips blaze against the black base, showcasing its hybrid ultra rarity.
