Overview

The Dragon Tamer Torch is a visually intense morph of Euphyllia glabrescens, known for its powerful contrast of dark green base tentacles and vivid orange-yellow tips. These “flame-like” ends glow brightly under both LED and T5 reef lighting, giving it an almost mythical appearancehence the name.

Ideal for hobbyists looking to add a centrepiece with both movement and vibrant colour, this torch coral will demand attention without disrupting the harmony of a mixed reef system.

Care & Feeding

This coral thrives under stable reef conditions with moderate to high PAR lighting. Being photosynthetic, it sustains itself through symbiosis with zooxanthellae, but regular target feeding with fine particulate or meaty blends (reef roids, Mysis shrimp) enhances colour intensity and polyp extension.

Its tentacles are aggressive and can sting nearby coralsprovide at least several centimetres of clearance on all sides.
