C Euphyllia Glabrescens - 24K Gold Torch

from $295.00

The 24K Gold Torch (Euphyllia glabrescens) is a powerhouse addition to any saltwater reef aquarium, blending high-impact aesthetics with essential utility. Featuring a striking, ultra-saturated coloration where brilliant, metallic 24-karat gold tentacles are capped with contrasting electric white or soft blue tips, this premium large-polyp stony (LPS) coral is a master of the "high-end collector" era of reef keeping—serving as a natural biological focal point for the mid-water rockwork. It is a dedicated and dynamic centerpiece, making it a functional cornerstone of a premium marine ecosystem.

This prestigious LPS coral thrives in mature, established reef systems with moderate lighting (PAR 150-250) and moderate, indirect water flow that creates a rhythmic, swaying motion. While resilient by nature, its long, fleshy, sweeping architecture expands beautifully under stable water parameters, where it tirelessly absorbs dissolved organic nutrients. To ensure long-term health and maximum growth velocity, provide a dedicated supplemental diet of micro-pellets, pulverized reef foods, or frozen mysis and brine shrimp during evening feeding displays. Ensure your aquarium maintains steady calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels, as this species demands a consistent mineral foundation to build its branching skeletal structure.

Quick Specs

  • Care Level: Moderate

  • Temperament: Aggressive (possesses long sweeper tentacles)

  • Placement: Middle (Secure rockwork)

  • Lighting: Moderate (PAR 150–250)

  • Water Flow: Medium (Indirect, dynamic swaying movement)

  • Diet: Photosynthetic / Omnivore (Benefits from target feeding)

  • Water Conditions: 72 to 78°F, dKH 8 to 11, pH 8.1 to 8.4, Salinity 1.024 to 1.026

Husbandry Notes

The 24K Gold Torch is a strategic choice for reef hobbyists looking for "unrivaled kinetic color" and a majestic, flowing growth habit. Its specialized, elongated tentacles add a layer of deep movement and dramatic contrast to the middle reef zones, especially under heavy actinic lighting where the gold pigment truly fluoresces. In the context of modern reef keeping, it is widely considered the ultimate "showpiece centerpiece" for adding high-end visual luxury to a display. For maximum success, provide ample clearance (at least 6 inches) from neighboring corals, as its aggressive sweeper tentacles will defend its territory, and ensure water movement is random and indirect to prevent flesh tearing against its sharp skeleton.
