🧬 Overview
The Limefire Torch Euphyllia is a premium cut-to-order coral prized for its electric contrast of green and gold. Its flowing, flame-like tentacles bring dynamic motion and colour to any aquascape, making it a centrepiece LPS for collectors who seek both intensity and refinement.
This morph glows vividly under blue spectrum lighting, exuding both power and serenity — a coral that ignites the reef with every sway of its polyps.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, Euphyllia glabrescens benefits from weekly target feeding with Mysis, Brine Shrimp, or coral-specific microfoods to promote tissue health and accelerated growth. Maintain stable trace elements (strontium, manganese, and iron) for sustained fluorescence and skeletal strength.
📈 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) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Mount on stable rockwork in moderate flow to allow full tentacle expansion. Keep a safety buffer between neighbouring corals, as torches can extend long sweeper tentacles capable of stinging.
