Description
Provide plenty of room between the Euphyllia Torch Coral and other sessile animals, since at night, its sweeper tentacles can extend up to several inches from its base and sting other coral species. It is moderately difficult to maintain, but it is a popular coral that will thrive under proper conditions and excellent water quality parameters. Ideally, it needs to have moderate lighting combined with moderate water movement within the aquarium. Its aquatic home will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water for its continued good health. It will also benefit from additional food fed weekly in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp.

Acclimatisation
Acclimatise coral by simply floating for 30 mins in your tank, ideally secure the bag to the side of the to avoid damage to the coral.
Add small amounts of tank water to the bag over a period of 45 mins allowing salinity, temperature and ph equalise.
