The Holy Ember Torch Euphyllia is a truly legendary coral, featuring molten gold tentacles ignited by fiery orange streaks and capped with electric yellow tips. Revered as one of the most sought-after torch corals in the reefing world, this Euphyllia brings an unmatched glow to any aquarium, swaying hypnotically under the current like flames dancing in the night. A prized addition for collectors, the Holy Ember Torch embodies the ultimate fusion of vibrancy, movement, and prestige.
Care & Feeding
This torch coral flourishes under moderate to high lighting, which enhances its radiant gold and neon accents. A moderate to strong water flow keeps debris from settling on its tentacles while allowing its graceful, fluid motion. While primarily photosynthetic, the Holy Ember Torch benefits from occasional feedings of mysis shrimp, plankton, or specialized coral foods, helping sustain its vibrant glow and promote growth. Maintaining stable calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels is key for its skeletal structure and overall health.
