Tiger Torch Corals are unusual collector Euphyllia named for the contrasting stripes or streaks running along their tentacles. Individual specimens may display combinations of gold, yellow, purple, blue, green and nearly black coloration. Pattern coverage and tip color vary, so use the variant photographs to compare the exact coral available.

Provide indirect water movement that keeps the tentacles gently swaying without forcefully pushing them to one side. Torch Corals have a powerful sting and require ample space from neighboring corals.  Torch corals don't require direct feeding, most torches won't swallow food provided.  Only feed torches if you see them swallow food and only feed once a week at most.
