Frequently asked questions
What is an Aussie 24k Gold Torch?
A golden colour form of Euphyllia glabrescens, often also called “golden torch”. “24k Gold” is the trade name; “Aussie” stands for its origin, Australia.
Is Euphyllia glabrescens suitable for beginners?
Yes, if the tank is stable. It needs medium light, moderate flow and enough space to neighbouring corals, because it forms sweeper tentacles.
Will I get exactly this coral?
Yes. WYSIWYG means you get exactly the specimen shown in the photo.
Where does the coral come from?
It comes from Australia.
Are these the real colours?
The photo is a blue-light photo with white balance. Under different lighting the colours can look different.
How do I place the coral?
Place it a little lower or in a shadier spot first, then move it gradually into full light over one to two weeks.
Care at a glance
Typical requirements of the genus – individual specimens may differ.
- Difficulty
- Easy to moderate – does well with stable water parameters.
- Light
- Moderate light; lighting that is too strong keeps the polyps retracted.
- Flow
- Moderate and alternating, so the tentacles sway gently.
- Placement
- Middle to lower zone with plenty of space – Euphyllia sting strongly.
- Feeding
- Photosynthetic; occasional fine food encourages growth.
Euphyllia are among the most popular LPS corals in reef aquariums. Torch, hammer and frogspawn varieties form long, fleshy tentacles with coloured tips that move in the current and bring any tank to life. Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels are essential, as these corals react sensitively to fluctuations. Keep enough distance from neighbouring corals, because their sweeper tentacles can become considerably longer at night. With WYSIWYG offers, the photos show exactly the colony you will receive.
