📜 Backstory
A wild-collected Australian Euphyllia glabrescens gold form. World Wide Corals has listed an 'Aussie Gold Torch XL,' and Top Shelf Aquatics and TerraReef carry Aussie gold stock. As an Australian-collection morph the lineage is wild-origin and spread through multiple farms; specific founder colony is not documented.
Keeper tips for this variant
Widely regarded as the most sensitive and hardest-to-keep torch morph. Give stable parameters, moderate PAR, and gentle-to-moderate flow, acclimate slowly, and space heads from neighbors since Euphyllia can sting. Best reserved for experienced keepers.
