💚🦠 Biophase Emerald Torch Coral
Euphyllia glabrescens – Light & Dark Green Bicolour (Cut-to-Order Colony)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Intermediate
Temperament: Aggressive (requires space from neighbouring corals)
Colour Form: A striking dual-tone green torch coral combining light neon-green tentacles with deep forest-green gradients toward the base. Under actinic lighting, the bicolour transition creates a stunning, pulsating emerald glow — a perfect balance of brightness and depth. This rare morph offers the living illusion of light and shadow flowing together.
Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–11, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Euphylliidae
Lighting: Moderate to High – intensifies contrast between light and dark greens
Water Flow: Moderate, oscillating
Placement: Mid to lower reef zones with open space
🧬 Overview
The Biophase Emerald Torch Coral represents a cut-to-order premium Euphyllia colony grown for refined collectors seeking the subtleties of layered fluorescence. Its combination of lime and dark jade tones creates a rich natural gradient — elegant by day, electric by night.
This coral glows vividly under blue LEDs, bringing dynamic motion and hypnotic colour to any reef. A unique statement piece that embodies balance, life, and light.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, deriving most energy from light. Occasional target feeding with fine particulate coral foods (Reef Roids, Coral Vitaliser) encourages faster growth and polyp expansion.
Maintain stable nutrient levels and avoid phosphate spikes, which may mute its contrast.
Dosing amino acids and potassium enhances green fluorescence and improves overall vibrancy.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.07 ppm |
📍 Placement
Provide moderate, multidirectional flow to allow tentacles to sway freely while preventing mechanical stress. Keep 8–10 cm of clearance from other LPS corals to avoid stinging.
Position in mid-depth zones where strong blue lighting reveals the coral’s layered bicolour fluorescence.
