Common names: Torch coral, trumpet coral, pom-pom coral
Difficulty Level: Torch coral is generally tolerant, but must have stable alkalinity to survive.
Feeding: Poor feeding response, so must usually be fed with pumps off. Most common foods are small suspension matter including phyto and roti.
Lighting (Level 5 to 7): Most prefer moderate lighting, but will adapt to varying conditions.
Water flow: Medium to low flow is a must in preventing damage to fleshy tentacles against rock or skeleton.
Placement: Torch coral can be very aggressive, so be sure to leave space for it to fully extend its tentacles without touching other corals including other species of euphyllia.
General: Many times clownfish will host in torch coral like an anemone. Be cautious as not every torch will continue to open fully is harassed by clownfish
