🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia “Holy Grail Torch” is widely considered one of the most sought-after torch corals in the reef aquarium hobby. Its unmistakable combination of glowing golden tentacles and neon highlights creates a spectacular display under reef lighting.
The long flowing tentacles move gracefully in reef currents, creating mesmerizing motion and making the coral an instant focal point within LPS-dominated reef aquariums.
Holy Grail torches are especially valued among collectors due to their rare coloration, strong fluorescence and iconic status in the Euphyllia world.
Cut to Order:
Each frag is carefully cut from a healthy established mother colony. Individual pieces may vary slightly in head shape and branch structure but maintain the same colour lineage as the parent coral.
Prepared with:
• Fresh cut from established mother colony
• Healthy tissue and inflated tentacles
• Securely mounted frag base or plug
• Proven colour expression under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Torch corals benefit from occasional feeding which can encourage faster growth and stronger polyp expansion.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Mysis shrimp or finely chopped seafood
• Reef roids or LPS coral foods
• Target feeding with gentle flow paused
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–20 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the mid to lower areas of the aquascape where moderate lighting and gentle oscillating flow allow the tentacles to move naturally.
Allow generous spacing from neighbouring corals, as torch corals can extend long sweeper tentacles.
