Cotton Candy Torch Coral – Single Head

Bring incredible movement and colour to your reef aquarium with the Cotton Candy Torch Coral. This stunning variety of the Euphyllia glabrescens is prized for its vibrant pink and purple-tipped tentacles that fade into striking blue or green bases. As its long polyps sway gracefully in the current, it creates a mesmerising display that quickly becomes the centrepiece of any marine aquarium.

Supplied as a single healthy head, this coral will naturally grow into a larger multi-headed colony over time when provided with stable water conditions and quality care.

Care Guide

Difficulty: Moderate

Lighting: Moderate (PAR 75–150)

Flow: Moderate, indirect water movement

Placement: Lower to middle areas of the aquarium on a secure rock structure

Although photosynthetic, Cotton Candy Torch Corals respond very well to occasional target feeding with mysis shrimp, reef roids or quality LPS pellets once or twice per week.

Maintain stable reef parameters for the best growth and colour:

• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm

Torch corals are an aggressive species with long sweeper tentacles capable of stinging nearby corals. Allow at least 15–20cm (6–8 inches) of clearance around the colony.

As with all corals, we recommend slowly acclimating your new Torch Coral to your aquarium's lighting and water conditions.
