Torches, hammers and frogspawn sit together here because they are close relatives, the LPS corals most reefers still call Euphyllia. The torch side includes grail pieces such as the Cotton Candy Holy Grail Torch, the 24k Holy Grail Torch and several Banana grails, plus tiger and gold torches. Hammers come as branching pieces, like the Gold Indo Branching Hammer, or as walls, like the Aussie Copper Hammer Wall with its green center. Frogspawn looks a lot like a hammer, except its tentacles end in small branched clusters. Anything priced at $500 or more also appears in The Vault.
Pick the spot before you buy. Most of these corals do well under moderate light and moderate, indirect flow, enough to keep the tentacles moving without pinning them flat.
- Give each piece about six inches of open space, and more as it grows. Mostly at night, they put out sweeper tentacles that reach well beyond what you see during the day and sting nearby corals.
- They don't need target feeding, but an occasional feeding of mysis or a similar meaty food can help. Keep alkalinity and calcium stable.
Many of the torches here are WYSIWYG listings shot in house, and most are one of one. Like all our corals, these go through quarantine before we sell them.
