Indo Gold Torch

About this coral

Indo Gold Torch is an LPS torch coral from the Euphyllia group, sold under that shop name for its distinctive appearance. In practice, this coral is kept for its sweeping, tentacled look and to add movement and character to a reef aquarium. Use it as a centerpiece or feature coral in a stable, moderate-light tank with medium water movement.

Features:

• Belongs to the Euphyllia (torch coral) group of LPS corals
• Moderate light helps Euphyllia maintain its coloration and growth
• Medium, indirect water flow supports healthy tissue without excessive stress
• Provides a dramatic, waving-tentacle display that can anchor a rockscape
• Benefits from feeding planktonic foods in addition to light-driven energy
• Give room for expansion and avoid direct contact with other corals to reduce irritation
• Consider positioning where water flow reaches the coral’s feeding tentacles rather than blasting from one direction
