🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia “Golden Tiger Torch” is one of the most coveted torches in modern reefkeeping — a high-end morph known for its hypnotic tentacle sway, bold bi-colour contrast, and strong fluorescent presence.
Each WYSIWYG head or colony is carefully selected from our premium line, ensuring:
-
Intense green-gold saturation under full-spectrum and actinic light
-
Strong, consistent polyp extension and movement
-
Stable tissue integrity from long-term aquarium culture
-
Responsiveness to moderate flow and balanced trace levels
This coral delivers motion, luminosity, and power — the ultimate centrepiece torch for collectors and high-energy reef layouts.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Euphyllia torches thrive primarily through photosynthesis, but occasional feeding enhances growth and colouration.
Feed 1× weekly with:
-
Small mysis or enriched brine shrimp
-
Fine coral blends or microplankton
Turn off the flow during feeding to allow full polyp capture.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Provide ample clearance (10–15 cm) from other corals — torch tentacles can extend far and sting neighbours.
Ensure a gentle, oscillating flow that keeps the polyps in continuous, natural motion without stressing the tissue.
Avoid direct blasts or overly still zones.
