Euphyllia glabrescens, commonly known as Torch Coral, is a large-polyp stony coral characterized by its long, tubular polyps with knob-like tips and a range of colors, often bicolored with contrasting tentacle tips. These corals are colonial, with corallites (individual coral units) spaced apart and having thin, sharp-edged walls.
Key features of Euphyllia glabrescens:
-
Appearance:
Long, tubular polyps resembling a torch, with a variety of colors including brown, green, pink, and fluorescent shades.
-
Colony Structure:
Phaceloid (corallites arranged in a branching pattern), with corallites 20-30 mm in diameter and spaced 15-30 mm apart.
-
Tentacles:
Large, tubular tentacles with knob-like tips.
-
Color:
Can be found in various colors, often with contrasting colors on the tentacles and polyp tips.
-
Care:
Suitable for intermediate-level reef keepers, requiring stable water parameters, moderate to high lighting, and moderate water flow.
-
Feeding:
While they can photosynthesize, they benefit from supplemental feeding with small meaty foods like zooplankton or coral-specific foods.
-
Aggression:
Can have sweeper tentacles that may harm neighboring corals, so they should be placed away from other corals.
-
Compatibility:
Clownfish often use torch corals as their home
