Hellfire Torch

About this coral

Hellfire Torch is an LPS torch coral sold under the shop name “Hellfire Torch.” Based on widely used coral naming, this product corresponds to Euphyllia glabrescens, a branch-forming torch coral valued for its long, flowing tentacles and eye-catching polyp display in reef aquariums. Use it as a centerpiece coral in an LPS-compatible setup, positioning it where its tentacles can extend without being hit by strong, direct currents or competing corals.

Features:

• Group-level Euphyllia (torch coral) care generally calls for moderate lighting and low-to-moderate water flow so the tentacles extend comfortably. ([koralking.com](https://koralking.com/products/hellfire-torch-1?utm_source=openai))
• As an LPS coral, it benefits from stable conditions typical of reef tanks and often retracts when conditions become stressed or change quickly. ([acquariodibologna.com](https://www.acquariodibologna.com/en/revista/tides/euphyllia-glabrescens-torch-coral/?utm_source=openai))
• Torch corals are known to be tentacled and can be aggressive toward nearby stinging-competitor corals, so give it enough spacing for safe neighbors. ([koralking.com](https://koralking.com/products/hellfire-torch-1?utm_source=openai))
• Moderate, appropriate feeding is optional: Euphyllia glabrescens can rely on photosynthesis, but may also respond to occasional target/spot feeding with suitable prepared foods (as advised for the species).

• It is typically kept as a stable, long-term LPS centerpiece rather than a high-precision SPS-style coral. ([visionaquatics.co.uk](https://visionaquatics.co.uk/product/ultra-hellfire-torch/?utm_source=openai))
