Aussie Toxic Torch

About this coral

Aussie Toxic Torch is an LPS coral in the Euphyllia group, commonly kept as a “torch” style coral for its flowing, tentacled look. In an aquarium, it’s primarily used as a centerpiece coral that benefits from stable reef conditions and consistent water movement—helping its polyps extend and feeding and light support its day-to-day health.

Features:

• Euphyllia-type “torch” coral form with extended, tentacled feeding polyps when conditions are right
• General guidance for Euphyllia care: moderate light and medium water flow help it thrive
• Performs best in stable, established reef aquariums where parameters don’t swing
• Responds to routine feeding and quality water, since many Euphyllia rely on both light and captured food

Specifications:

• Care level (general guidance): Intermediate (follow stable reef conditions for LPS)
• Light: Moderate light
• Water flow: Medium flow
• Placement: Provide stable positioning where flow is not overly direct on the tissue
• Diet: Light-supported (photosynthetic); benefit from supplemental meaty foods
• Temperature: Typically 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• pH: Typically about 8.1–8.4
• Salinity: Typically about 1.023–1.026 (SG)
• Alkalinity: Typically about 8–12 dKH
• Calcium: Typically about 380–450 ppm
• Magnesium: Typically about 1200–1350 ppm
