Cotton Candy Torch

The Cotton Candy Torch Coral is a colorful Euphyllia variety known for its bright contrasting tones, long flowing tentacles, and beautiful fluorescence under reef aquarium lighting. Its pastel-inspired coloration gives this Torch Coral its signature "cotton candy" appearance while adding exceptional movement to the reef.

With its vibrant color and graceful extension, the Cotton Candy Torch makes an excellent addition to a Euphyllia garden, LPS-dominated reef, or mixed reef aquarium.

Placement & Care

Cotton Candy Torch Corals prefer moderate, indirect water flow that allows their tentacles to sway naturally without being continuously blasted by strong current. Proper flow encourages healthy polyp extension and creates the flowing movement that makes Torch Corals so desirable.

Moderate reef lighting is generally ideal. When adding a new Torch Coral to your aquarium, gradually acclimate it to your lighting rather than immediately exposing it to high PAR.

Like other Torch Corals, the Cotton Candy Torch can extend powerful sweeper tentacles. Provide adequate space between it and neighboring corals to prevent stinging and tissue damage.

Although primarily photosynthetic, occasional supplemental feeding with appropriately sized meaty reef foods can help support healthy growth.
