The torch coral is an LPS coral that is found in many aquariums. It has a very fluid and relaxing movement. This along with its bright colors make it a wonderful addition to a reef tank.
It is relatively easy to take care of but like most corals blossom in an aquarium with good water parameters. Keeping proper calcium, magnesium and alkalinity levels will help these corals thrive. As with most LPS corals keeping the Euphillia Torch Coral in moderate light with moderate flow is ideal. It is also okay to feed these corals some meaty foods like mysis shrimp every 1-2 weeks.
It is important to provide plenty of space between torch corals and other corals as they have long sweeper tentacles that can sting other corals.

Beautiful. Diggin the music on both videos. What other types of videos are you planning on shooting?

Haha yeah the music is fun to add to the videos. So I plan on shooting a variety of videos all tied to reefkeeping in one form or another. I’ll be doing short segments on individual corals, like the 2 I have already posted. I will also be doing some features on some nice reef tanks. That way we can get some good tips on techniques and see some beautiful tanks in action. There will also be some educational vids too and maybe even some controversial ones to get people talking, like DSB vs no sandbed.
