Buy high-quality Euphyllia
Euphyllia corals are among the most popular corals for the marine aquarium, loved for their long, gracefully swaying tentacles. Whether torch coral, hammer coral or frogspawn – their exceptional movement and wide range of colour morphs make them a highlight in any reef. Successful Euphyllia care depends on stable water parameters, moderate lighting and gentle, variable flow. Because of their long sweeper tentacles, you should also leave enough space between them and neighbouring corals. With good care, Euphyllia develop strong polyps and grow into impressive colonies over the years.

Care at a glance
Euphyllia corals prefer stable water parameters, moderate lighting and gentle to moderate, alternating flow. Under optimal conditions they develop their characteristic, elegantly swaying polyps and impress with strong colours and healthy growth.
These details are intended as a guide. Always watch how each individual coral responds and adjust light, flow and placement as needed.
Euphyllia are among the most popular LPS corals and, with stable water parameters, are also suitable for ambitious beginners.
Moderate lighting supports strong colours and full polyp expansion. New corals should be acclimated slowly to higher light intensities.
Gentle, alternating flow creates the typical movement of the polyps and prevents deposits without stressing the tissue.
Occasional feeding with fine frozen food or special coral food can further promote growth, vitality and colour development.
Place with enough distance from other corals, as Euphyllia can develop long sweeper tentacles that injure neighbouring corals.
Under stable conditions, Euphyllia grow steadily and over time form impressive branching or wall-type colonies.
More about Euphyllia
Euphyllia combine comparatively easy care with an exceptional appearance. Their gently swaying tentacles bring movement to any reef aquarium and create a particularly natural look.

Euphyllia are among the most popular LPS corals in the reef aquarium. Their long, elegantly swaying tentacles give any reef natural movement and make them a real eye-catcher.
Whether torch coral, hammer coral or frogspawn – Euphyllia delight with intense colours, different growth forms and their distinctive polyp movement. With stable water parameters and appropriate care, they develop into long-lived and impressive corals for beginners and experienced reef keepers alike.
Euphyllia prefer stable water parameters and consistently high water quality. Fluctuations in temperature, salinity or carbonate hardness should be avoided as far as possible.
Recommended guideline values:
• Temperature: 24–26 °C
• Salinity: 34–35 PSU or 1.025–1.026
• pH: 8.0–8.4
• Carbonate hardness: 7.5–9 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 mg/l
• Magnesium: 1,250–1,400 mg/l
• Nitrate: 5–15 mg/l
• Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 mg/l
Euphyllia prefer moderate lighting and gentle to moderate, alternating flow. Water parameters that are as constant as possible are particularly important, as the corals are sensitive to large fluctuations.
Regular feeding with mysis, artemia or special coral food can further promote growth, polyp development and colour intensity.
Euphyllia feel particularly at home in the middle to lower part of the aquarium. There they receive enough light and pleasant, alternating flow that supports their characteristic polyp movement.
As Euphyllia can extend long sweeper tentacles at night, enough space should be left to neighbouring corals. This avoids injuries and allows every coral to develop undisturbed.
New animals should be acclimated slowly to the existing lighting to reduce stress during acclimation.
Moderate lighting provides strong colours and healthy growth. Flow should be gentle to moderate and alternating so that the tentacles can move naturally without constant stress.
Regular feeding with mysis, artemia or special LPS food can further promote growth and colour development. Under stable conditions, Euphyllia form strong colonies and develop their characteristic, elegant polyp movement.
