Torch corals are highly sought-after showpiece LPS corals, bringing both colour and natural movement to the reef aquarium as their tentacles sway gently in the current. This coral is best suited to a mature, stable reef aquarium with moderate lighting, indirect flow and generous spacing from neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeach Tip Rasta Torch Coral, Peach Tip Rasta Torch, Rasta Torch Coral, Torch Coral, Euphyllia Torch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name (Latin):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEuphyllia glabrescens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLPS Coral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBranching to wall-style large polyp stony coral growth form, with long fleshy tentacles extending from a hard calcium carbonate skeleton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin \/ Natural Habitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTorch corals are found in Indo-Pacific reef habitats, often growing on reef slopes, lagoons and coral-rich areas where they receive steady water movement and suitable lighting.

Avoid sudden alkalinity swings, harsh direct flow, rapid lighting changes and close contact with neighbouring corals.
