  Special Requirements and Information:
Euphyllia are beautiful to watch when the polyps are extended. Large colonies wave like a field of grass, while smaller groups whip around in the water column constantly in search of food. Torches are aggressive and will attack any other coral that's within the reach of their tentacles.
Feed anytime during the day. They love zooplankton as well as meaty foods. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid as long as they're chopped into small pieces. The skeletal structure will grow in width and should be supplemented with calcium, strontium and iodine.
