Euphyllia cristata (Premium)

Euphyllia cristata, commonly known as the Torch Coral, is a popular LPS coral admired for its long, flowing tentacles and vibrant coloration. Unlike Euphyllia glabrescens, E. cristata typically has shorter, thicker tentacles with more compact tips, giving it a denser appearance. Its tentacles often display brightly colored tips in shades of green, gold, purple, or pink, creating dramatic movement and visual appeal in reef aquariums. Growing from a branching skeleton, this coral makes an eye-catching centerpiece and thrives in stable reef conditions.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Moderate
• Flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow
• Placement: Mid to lower rockwork; allow space from neighboring corals due to sweeper tentacles
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or reef pellets
