Quick facts: Care level: Easy–Moderate · Lighting: Moderate · Flow: Low–Moderate · Feeding: Benefits from feeding


WHY SHOULD I BUY THIS CORAL?
The Hellfire Torch is a highly sought‑after torch variety renowned for its intense fiery coloration, typically featuring deep red, orange, and ember‑like tones with contrasting bright or neon tips. Under blue lighting, this coral exhibits powerful fluorescence and dramatic movement as its long tentacles sway through the water column. Its bold colour saturation and constant motion make it a premium statement coral and a true focal point in LPS and mixed reef aquariums.


CARE LEVEL
Easy–Moderate
Suitable for established reef systems with stable and consistent water parameters.


WATER REQUIREMENTS & GENERAL CARE

• Temperature: 24–27 °C
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026 (32–35 ppt)
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Stable water chemistry is essential for maintaining colour intensity, tissue thickness, and healthy long‑term growth.


LIGHTING
• Moderate
• PAR Range: 80–150 PAR

Moderate lighting enhances fiery coloration and promotes full tentacle extension. Gradual acclimation is recommended when increasing PAR.


PLACEMENT
• Bottom / Lower–Mid rockwork

Place on stable rockwork or the sandbed with the skeleton fully supported. Allow generous spacing due to long sweeper tentacles.


FLOW
• Low–Moderate

Provide gentle, indirect flow that allows the long tentacles to sway freely without excessive whipping or retraction.


FEEDING
• Photosynthetic: Benefit from feeding
Recommended feeding schedule:
• 1–2 times per week
Accepted foods:
• Finely chopped mysis or brine shrimp
• LPS pellets
• Reef roids or fine powdered coral foods
• Liquid coral foods or amino acids

Target feeding supports faster growth, thicker tentacles, and enhanced colour saturation.


COMPATIBILITY & BEHAVIOUR
• Temperament: Semi aggressive
• Long sweeper tentacles, especially at night
• Requires ample spacing from neighbouring corals
• Can coexist with other Euphyllia species if adequate room is provided


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• Family: Euphylliidae
• Origin: Indo‑Pacific
• Natural Habitat: Sheltered reef slopes and lagoonal environments
• Typical Depth Range: 5–30 m
