Care & Feeding

The Golden Sunburst thrives under stable water conditions and moderate to high lighting. Like other Euphyllia, it is photosynthetic but will benefit from regular feeding of planktonic foods, fine meaty foods, or coral-specific blends such as reef roids. This encourages optimal growth, full polyp extension, and maximum color vibrancy.

As with all torch corals, its long-reaching tentacles are capable of stinging nearby corals, so be sure to give it ample space to spread and grow.
