For many, the black torch coral (Euphyllia glabrescensis) is considered to be one of the rarest color variations for torch corals in the aquarium trade. It’s moniker comes from the coral’s dark, almost black tentacles that wave in the water beneath vivid, contrasting goldish to yellowish tips. The Euphyllia Torch Coral is classified by aquarists as a large polyp stony (LPS) coral. It has long and flowing polyps with single rounded tips which are visible throughout the day and night, hiding its branching skeletal base most of the time. Typically, it is sold in shades of brown or green with a contrasting color on the tips on its tentacles. E. glabrescensis is considered to be one of, if not the most desirable Euphyllia species to keep in by AquaNerd | May 23, 2017 | Fish, Reef, Science
TLF Stax – coming soon Two Little Fishes is launching Stax, a new product with an innovative aquascaping approach. The Stax concept is a building block approach that I had the pleasure of learning about in the Two Little Fishies booth at Reef-A-Palooza, Orlando. Every Stax rock is double cut with flat surfaces on two sides. This simplifies the stacking process enabling a quick and more stable installation. Manufactured of natural oolitic limestone mined in Florida and suitable for both marine and freshwater aquariums, Stax is designed to work in small to large aquariums. Simply start with a building base and let your creativity flow.
