Torch Coral

Transform Your Tank with Living, Swaying Reef Sculpture

Looking for a showpiece that moves... The Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) is one of the most visually striking large-polyp stony (LPS) corals available to the home aquarium hobbyist. Its long, flowing tentacles, tipped with distinctive rounded ends, sway hypnotically with current, mimicking the ocean floor in a way few other corals can match. Whether you're building a dedicated LPS reef tank or adding a focal point to a mixed system, this is a specimen that commands attention the moment it opens up.

Torch Corals grow in a branching, torch-like formation and can develop into impressive colonies over time, making every frag a genuine long-term investment in your saltwater aquarium. They're rewarding to keep because they respond visibly to good conditions: full, billowing polyp extension is your sign that the reef tank environment is dialed in. Clowns may also adopt them as a surrogate host, adding an extra layer of natural behavior to your display that never gets old.
