{"product_id":"aurora-torch","title":"Aurora Torch","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAurora Torch\u003c\/strong\u003e is a vivid \u003cem\u003eEuphyllia glabrescens\u003c\/em\u003e torch coral, selected for violet-to-purple tentacles and bright green tips that stand out under reef lighting. It brings the flowing movement reef keepers look for in torch corals while staying grounded in the practical care needs of an aggressive LPS coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral is grown in New Dawn Aquaculture systems in Canada and is best suited to a stable, established reef where it can be given open space, moderate indirect flow, and careful light acclimation. Color and extension can vary with lighting, nutrients, and settling time, so judge success by steady tissue fullness and natural movement rather than forcing rapid change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Reef Keepers Choose It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreen tips over purple to violet tentacles for strong blue-light contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClassic torch-coral sway that adds motion to LPS and mixed reef displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA good lower-to-middle placement candidate when given room around the colony\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFarm-grown in Canada with New Dawn livestock support behind the purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart Aurora Torch in low to medium light, especially under strong LEDs, and move it brighter only after it has settled. A healthy torch should open steadily with inflated tissue and extended tentacles. Sudden retraction, paling, or tissue recession is a sign to review recent changes in light, flow, alkalinity, salinity, and temperature before moving the coral repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse medium, indirect, somewhat random flow. The tentacles should sway and lift, not whip sharply in one direction or stay pinned against the skeleton. Avoid placing it where the fleshy tissue can scrape rockwork, where detritus settles around the base, or where a pump blast hits the coral directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTreat Aurora Torch as an aggressive LPS coral. Leave several inches of open space from neighboring corals, including other Euphyllia and Euphyllia-like branching LPS. Torch corals can damage nearby tissue through direct contact or sweeper extension, and compatibility should be managed by spacing and observation rather than by trade name alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding And Acclimation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurora Torch is photosynthetic and does not need heavy feeding, but occasional small target feedings can support tissue fullness when water quality is stable.
