Euphyllia Glabrescens Limelight Torch Premium – Euphyllia glabrescens Torch LPS coral with long tentacles.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 662. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Light: low to moderate; around 80–120 PAR has worked well in our own tanks, with gradual acclimation for new specimens. Flow: gentle to moderate, variable and indirect; tentacles should sway freely without being forced against the skeleton.
Secure in the lower to middle reef with generous space from neighbouring corals and other Euphyllia types.
Largely supported by light; occasionally offer very small suitable food particles when feeding tentacles respond.
Long sweeper tentacles can damage neighbouring corals. Secure the skeleton without gluing soft tissue. Investigate persistently retracted polyps or tissue loss promptly.
As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
