Single Head Flashlight Torch

About this coral

Single Head Flashlight Torch Multiples Available is a single-head Euphyllia torch-style LPS coral by Aqua SD. In the aquarium, Euphyllia torches are prized for their large, fleshy tentacle “heads” that extend and pulse with the water current, making them a standout centerpiece when given stable conditions.

Features:

• Euphyllia torch-style corals are known for sweeper-style stinging tentacles, so plan spacing to help prevent damage to neighboring corals.
• Aim for moderate-to-strong lighting and adjust gradually to reduce stress (lower light at first, then increase over time).
• Provide low-to-medium, turbulent flow; excessive direct flow can keep polyps retracted or stress tissue.
• Best placement is typically mid-level or higher so the coral can extend comfortably under your lighting.
• While photosynthetic and not strictly dependent on feeding, they can benefit from occasional small, meaty foods that the coral can handle.
• Handle with care during placement; Euphyllia tissue can tear if moved while not fully closed.

Specifications:

• Care level (group guidance): Easy to moderate (Euphyllia/LPS group guidance).
• Light (group guidance): Moderate to strong; ~100–150 PAR is commonly cited as sufficient for Euphyllia.
• Water flow (group guidance): Low to medium flow; often described as about 40–100x turnover (avoid overly crashing/direct laminar flow).
• Placement (group guidance): Mid-level or higher in the tank; provide open space from other corals.
• Temperature (guideline): ~78–80°F (stability emphasized).
• Alkalinity (guideline): ~7–10 dKH (reefstable notes 8–10 dKH; Pacific East Aquaculture lists 7–8 dKH for LPS care).
• Calcium (guideline): ~400–450 ppm (reefstable 400–450; Pacific East Aquaculture 425–450).
• Magnesium (guideline): ~1250–1350 ppm (reefstable cites ~1200–1400; Pacific East Aquaculture 1250–1350).
• Salinity (guideline): Specific gravity 1.025–1.028.
• Diet (feeding guidance): Photosynthetic; occasional small feeds may be used, such as mysis shrimp or other small meaty marine foods/LPS foods.
