🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia glabrescens “Cotton Candy” is a highly desirable torch coral prized for its unique combination of vibrant fluorescent green tentacles and delicate pastel blue-lavender tips. Its soft colour palette offers a refreshing contrast to the more common gold and dragon soul varieties, making it an exceptional addition to collector reef aquariums.
Under blue-spectrum reef lighting, the colony displays intense neon fluorescence with glowing green tentacles and luminous pastel tips that appear to float above the coral. Under balanced white lighting, additional subtle pink, lavender and icy-blue tones become visible, creating remarkable depth and colour complexity.
As the coral expands, long flowing tentacles generate constant movement throughout the aquarium, providing both visual impact and natural reef aesthetics. In stable reef systems, Cotton Candy Torch develops excellent extension, vibrant coloration and premium display presence.
