Aussie Fathead Torch

About this coral

Aussie Fathead Torch is a named torch coral in the Euphyllia group, offered as a large-polyp stony (LPS) coral for reef aquariums. The shop name identifies the listed variety; it does not by itself establish a precise species or documented origin. Torch corals add gently moving tentacles and a prominent focal point to a reef display. The guidance below is general for torch corals, not a verified care sheet for this particular named variety. Provide stable reef conditions and allow room for its tentacles, which can sting nearby corals.

Features:

• A branching LPS coral suited to a reef aquarium display.
• Its extended tentacles move with water flow, adding motion to the aquascape.
• Moderate lighting is a general starting point for Euphyllia corals; acclimate gradually when changing lighting.
• Use medium, indirect flow so the tentacles can move without being blasted or held retracted.
• Leave space from neighboring corals because torch coral tentacles can sting them.
• Photosynthetic; some torch corals may also take small meaty foods, but supplemental feeding is not a substitute for suitable lighting and water quality.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Torch coral; Euphyllia group. Exact species is not confirmed.
• Care guidance: General Euphyllia care; stable reef conditions are important.
• Lighting: Moderate, as general guidance for Euphyllia.
• Water flow: Medium, indirect flow.
