Im not trying to be a turd but the simple answer is like any other torch/euphyllia coral. Hellfire is just a name.So I’m getting a hellfire torch and a was wondering the care on them
I’m aware of that. But I heard there was a difference in indo torches and Aussie torchesIm not trying to be a turd but the simple answer is like any other torch/euphyllia coral. Hellfire is just a name.
Doing research before buying live animals is a good practice.
So indo torches are easier to care for than aussies? If so that’s good as I plan to get an indo torchAussies are considered more delicate, as they cannot branch new heads the way indos do. All euphyllia demand good water, stable parameters, and a little bit of dirt and nutrients to feed on.
Yes. Similar to the divide between branching and wall hammers.So indo torches are easier to care for than aussies? If so that’s good as I plan to get an indo torch
Umm Aussie torches definitely split and branch. How would they propagate otherwise? Yes they usually have larger heads and take longer to finish the split but they still split and branch.Yes. Similar to the divide between branching and wall hammers.
I think he was implying the branches are different rather than not branching at all. You’re correct though that Indos usually have a skinnier “stalk”Umm Aussie torches definitely split and branch. How would they propagate otherwise? Yes they usually have larger heads and take longer to finish the split but they still split and branch.
I meant more along the lines of how for hammers the walls tend to be less hardy than branches.Umm Aussie torches definitely split and branch. How would they propagate otherwise? Yes they usually have larger heads and take longer to finish the split but they still split and branch.
Aussies take a super long time to fully split heads. Live aquaria often sells aussies as wall torches. Just because there are 3 mouths but no split in sight. So, because of this. If aussies get hit with brown jelly, the whole colony is most likely gone.So indo torches are easier to care for than aussies? If so that’s good as I plan to get an indo torch
Oh gotcha brother. I actually started thinking really quickly like wait a minute Really??I meant more along the lines of how for hammers the walls tend to be less hardy than branches.
I have an indo and had an Aussie, I’ve seen how both branch rather than grow in a wall.
What do you mean by a little bit of dirt and nutrients?Aussies are considered more delicate, as they cannot branch new heads the way indos do. All euphyllia demand good water, stable parameters, and a little bit of dirt and nutrients to feed on.
What @MantisReef said.What do you mean by a little bit of dirt and nutrients?
Ok thanks. I have a bit of nitrates but no phosphates. How should increase phosphates??What @MantisReef said.
Obviously for any coral you don’t want the nutrients to be too high, but it’s good to have a bit of nitrates and phosphates to feed on. My torches generally don’t mind elevated nutrients the way other corals might (but once it gets too high they show it). My frogspawns on the other hand get ticked before water change day.
