General info about Yellow 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 Yellow Torch Euphyllia, they are predominatly colored green with yellow tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Yellow 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
Yellow Torch Euphyllia Diet & Nutrition
The Yellow 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.
Fragging / Propagating Yellow Torch Euphyllia
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Yellow Torch Euphyllia. They need to be set at the middle or bottom portion of the tank.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Yellow Torch Euphyllia
Yellow Torch Euphyllia requires moderate lighting and moderate to strong waterflow.
Parasites & Diseases that Affect Yellow Torch Euphyllia
The Yellow Torch Euphyllia is prone to brown jelly infection, especially if there is minimal waterflow.
Yellow Torch Euphyllia Origin
The Yellow Torch Euphyllia can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. They are considered as a threatened species listed under Appendix II of the CITES List, which means that their international trade is monitored.

The Yellow Torch Euphyllia has a semi-aggressive behaviour. With this, proper spacing in relation to other coral specimens is recommended.
How to Acclimate Yellow Torch Euphyllia
Since Yellow Torch Euphyllia is a marine species, salinity must be entirely maintained at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Yellow Torch Euphyllia
The Yellow Torch Euphyllia have long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
