General info about Pink Torch

In general, corals from the genus Euphyllia have long tentacles that may stretch out 2 to 4 inches and are usually extended out most of the time. When the polyps are retracted, you can clearly see that each corallite is completely separated from each other and is encased by its own wall.

This is the water parameters for cultivating Pink Torch Euphyllia:

  • Calcium: 420 - 440 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 3.93 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKH)
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1260 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 -10
  • Temperature: 75° - 80° F (24° 27° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4

Pink Torch Diet & Nutrition

The Pink Torch Euphyllia gets its primary nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within its tissues. However, we still do recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp.

Fragging / Propagating Pink Torch

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Pink Torch Euphyllia. They need to be set in the middle or bottom portion of the tank.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Pink Torch

Pink Torch Euphyllia requires moderate lighting and moderate to strong water flow.

Parasites & Diseases that Affect Pink Torch

The Pink Torch Euphyllia is prone to brown jelly infection, especially if there is minimal water flow.

Caution Should be Taken with Pink Torch

The Pink Torch Euphyllia has semi-aggressive behavior. With this, proper spacing in relation to other coral specimens is recommended.

How to Acclimate Pink Torch

Since Pink Torch Euphyllia is a marine species, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
