Should I get some Euphyllia corals?

[BaileysTank]

So pretty much I’ve had my tank for about 2 years now and have been able to keep gsp, zoas and candy cane corals in there for the past 6 months.as you can imagine the gsp grew a ton and the candy cane is about to split.my parameters are very stable hence the corals growth, so would I be in the clear for trying out some Euphyllia corals or should I hold off?

As long as you have the lights for them and an area of low-medium flow, go for it

My tanks been running for almost 5 months and I have a Duncan a branching and a blue tip torch all are happy and open. Haven't seen any splitting or new heads yet but have only had them for maybe a month or so but as Jedi said they require more par and do like flow but not to much. They will let you know if they don't like it. My Duncan always let's me know if something is off in the tank he closes up immediately. Here's my corals in the video

I have two radion gen 5 lights so that’s perfect

You should do fine, and Duncan’s are a great start. No name hammers as well. If they do OK then again go for a no-name torch set aside from the rest and see how it does

Absolutely you should.

Agreed.

 

[BaileysTank]

Agreed.

I really love the look of torch corals, I know about there aggressiveness twords other corals but is there any other big difference form keep a torch than keeping forgspawn or hammer?

 

[BaileysTank]

Thank you everyone for responding I am for sure gonna get a torch frag and have some fun thank you all for giving me the confidence!

From what I have heard, euphyllias are a bit more aggressive and harder to keep. Fimbriaphyllias are similar and a bit easier.

Get what you like. JMO

There are some good deals out there. Grab them while it lasts

 

[jrill]

Torches are great but I would also get frogspawn and hammers in addition to the Euphyllia.

 

[mtraylor]

I agree. Euphyllia covers your frogspawns, hammers, torches, framers, etc

Frogspawn or branching hammer are good starters, but you should get what you want as that is more rewarding to see that coral you always wanted

Actually, frogspawns, frammers, and hammers, are fimbriaphyllia.

Yea in 2017 I guess they moved them most euphyllia to fimbriaphyllia

 

[mtraylor]

Yeah I seen those articles, and hats off for the resurrection of it... but I haven't seen any places since 2017 that I buy from make any reference to them. They are still classified under euphylia. So I dont bother to reference fimbriaphyllia if the kings of the market (vendors) are not going to because that way everyone knows what you are talking about. As a matter of fact. Some people that you ask if they have a fimbriaphyllia, then they will give you this look.
