Torch Coral Neon green/Pink tip
The Torch Coral (Euphyllia Glabrescens) goes by the name of Pom-Pom Coral, or Cornet Coral, and is a semi-aggressive LPS coral. They are available in a wide variety of colours. They are found through out to indo-pacific to Australia’s great barrier reef. It is an interesting-looking Coral, with extended, thick polyps that emerge from a base of calcified stone. It’s called a Torch Coral because as water flows over it, it looks like a torch. Its large, meaty fingers may readily stretch out and move about when placed low in the tank, creating an eye-catching show. Torch corals are large polyp stony corals, also known as LPS corals. The majority of these corals have a hard, stone-like surface. They have a lot of lengthy polyps that expand and move about in response to the current in the water. The Torch Coral is a great coral for beginners, but still requires good reef husbandary.
