General info about Blue Tip Torch Euphyllia
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.
For the Blue Tip Torch Euphyllia, they are predominatly colored green with violet tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Blue Tip 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
Blue Tip Torch Euphyllia Diet & Nutrition
The Blue Tip Torch Euphyllia get 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.
