Aussie Flashlight Torch

About this coral

Aussie Flashlight Torch is an LPS coral from the Euphyllia group. In practice, it’s valued for the classic Euphyllia “torch” look and the way its feeding/maintenance behavior can make it a rewarding centerpiece coral in a reef aquarium. As with most Euphyllia, the goal is to provide stable reef conditions and the lighting and flow pattern that keep the polyps extended and comfortable.

Features:

• Euphyllia group coral with the characteristic torch-like growth habit often used as an eye-catching display focal point
• Generally does best under moderate lighting (typical of Euphyllia care) rather than harsh high-intensity light
• Prefers medium water flow to help deliver nutrients without blasting the tissue
• Best suited to aquariums that maintain stable conditions for LPS corals
• When placing, aim to balance light access and steady flow so the coral can extend comfortably
• Provide adequate spacing from aggressive neighbors, since LPS can be affected by close-contact competition
• Like other LPS, it benefits from a reef setup designed to support long-term coral health, not rapid swings in water chemistry

Specifications:

• Coral type: LPS coral (Euphyllia group)
• Light requirement: Moderate light (general group guidance)
• Water flow: Medium flow (general group guidance)
• Best placement: Lower to mid tank areas where moderate light and medium flow can be maintained
