Mardi-Gra Torch Coral [Rapunsel]
Torch corals (Euphyllia glabrescens/cristata).
They are aggressive, needing ample space (6+ inches) to avoid stinging neighbors. Target feeding is beneficial.
Key Care Requirements
Lighting: Moderate (100–250 PAR). They can adapt to higher, colour and species dependant.
Flow: Moderate. Not constant, to keep tentacles clean and prevent debris accumulation and prevent infections.
Water Parameters: Stable conditions are critical.
Temperature: 24–26°C (75–79°F).
Salinity: 1.025 SG.
Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH.
Calcium: 420–450 ppm.
Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm.
Placement: Place in the mid-level or bottom of the tank, allowing for expansion. Avoid the sandbed if it causes debris to settle on the coral.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, they benefit from weekly feeding of meaty foods (e.g., Mysis shrimp).
Aggression: They possess long "sweeper" tentacles that can sting and kill nearby corals.
