Torch coral, also known as Euphyllia glabrescens, is a type of large polyp stony coral that is popular among reef-keeping hobbyists. It is native to the Indo-Pacific region and can be found in a variety of colors, including green, brown, pink, and yellow. Torch coral typically has long, thin, branching tentacles that resemble a torch or a hammer. These tentacles are used to catch small prey, such as plankton, and to defend the coral from predators. Torch coral can grow up to 12 inches tall and requires moderate to high water flow and lighting in order to thrive in a reef aquarium. In terms of care, torch coral is generally considered to be a hardy and easy-to-care-for species. It prefers to be placed in the lower to mid-levels of the aquarium and requires regular feeding with small pieces of meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or brine shrimp. Like all corals, it requires stable water parameters and regular water changes to maintain good health.
