Toxic Torch

About this coral

ASD Toxic Torch is a named torch-coral offering in the LPS coral group. The shop’s existing care note identifies it as an Euphyllia coral, but does not establish a precise species or describe morph-specific traits. Torch corals are branching reef corals with extended, flowing tentacles, suited to established marine reef aquariums. This general group-level guidance can help with placement and routine care; it should not be taken as documentation of this particular named variety.

Features:

• A reef aquarium coral that adds a soft, moving tentacle display as water passes through the tank.
• Provide moderate light and medium, indirect water movement, consistent with the shop’s care note for Euphyllia corals.
• Allow open space around the coral. Euphyllia can extend stinging sweeper tentacles, so avoid placing it close to neighboring corals.
• Torch corals rely on photosynthesis and may also capture small meaty foods; feeding is supplementary, not a substitute for stable reef conditions.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Torch coral; listed as an LPS coral. Exact species and named-morph traits are not verified.
• Care level: Moderate; general guidance for torch corals.
• Light: Moderate, as indicated by the shop’s Euphyllia care note.
• Water flow: Medium, indirect flow; avoid placing the coral where strong direct current continually whips its tentacles.
• Placement: Leave room around the coral for tentacle extension and potential sweeper contact.
• Diet: Primarily photosynthetic; may capture small meaty foods.
• General reef parameters: Commonly maintained around 76–80°F, pH 8.1–8.4, specific gravity 1.025–1.026, alkalinity 8–12 dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm and magnesium 1,250–1,350 ppm. Stability is important; these are general group-level ranges, not a morph-specific care sheet.
