Gold Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) thrives with stable, moderate conditions. Provide moderate light at roughly 100–200 PAR, acclimating to brighter zones by increasing intensity 10–15% per week to prevent bleaching. Aim for indirect, moderate flow that keeps the polyps swaying without whipping; too much force can tear tissue, while too little invites detritus and bacterial issues. Target feed 1–2 times weekly with small meaty foods (mysis, enriched brine) or fine coral foods; this supports growth and recovery after stress. Keep temperature 76–79°F (24–26°C), salinity 1.025–1.026 (35 ppt), pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8.0–9.5 dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm, magnesium 1300–1400 ppm, nitrate 5–15 ppm, and phosphate 0.03–0.10 ppm. Test weekly with reliable kits, calibrate refractometers, and avoid rapid swings—torches are sensitive to sudden alkalinity and salinity changes.Place mid to lower in the tank on a stable mount with room to expand. Allow 6–10 inches of space for long sweeper tentacles; they can sting neighbors, and many keep torches separate from other Euphyllia types. Acclimate with a slow drip, dip new specimens, and quarantine if possible. Handle by the plug or rock, not the flesh. Signs of stress include receding tissue (often from swings or low nutrients) and brown jelly disease; promptly siphon decay, perform an iodine dip, improve flow, and stabilize parameters. If polyps stay shrunken, check for pests, reset flow, and verify PAR. Consistent maintenance and gentle, stable conditions are key.
