Type

The 24k Blue Tipped Torch Coral is a showpiece LPS with long, flowing tentacles and electric blue tips that shimmer under reef lighting. When happy, it offers big movement and strong extension that adds instant life to your aquascape.

Why we love it

  • High contrast colour with vivid blue tips

  • Incredible motion in gentle, indirect flow

  • A true centrepiece coral once established

Suggested parameters

  • Temperature: 24–26°C (75–79°F)

  • Salinity: 1.025–1.026 SG

  • pH: 8.1–8.4

  • Alkalinity: 8–9 dKH (keep it stable)

  • Calcium: 420–460 ppm

  • Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm

  • Nitrate: 5–15 ppm

  • Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 ppm

Care and placement

  • Difficulty: Moderate

  • Placement: Lower to mid rockwork with room to grow

  • Lighting: Low to moderate (acclimate slowly if moving to brighter areas)

  • Flow: Low to moderate, indirect (aim for a gentle sway, not hard blasting)

Feeding

Not required, but helpful for growth and recovery. Offer small meaty foods (mysis, finely chopped seafood) or quality coral foods 1 to 2 times per week. Turn down flow briefly during target feeding if needed.

Compatibility and spacing

Torch corals can be aggressive and may extend long sweepers, especially at night.

  • Leave 10–15 cm (4–6 in.) of space from other corals (more if it is reaching)

  • Keep away from other Euphyllia unless you know your tank’s compatibility

  • Generally fine with reef safe fish and inverts, but avoid nippy fish

What you are buying (per head)

This listing is priced per head, meaning you are purchasing one individual head from a branching torch.

  • You will receive: 1 head of 24k Blue Tipped Torch Coral

  • Mounted or unmounted depending on how it is currently grown and fragged

Colour and extension can vary based on lighting, nutrients, and flow, and it is normal to see changes as the coral acclimates.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
