Perhaps no stony corals combine desireability with availability
better than members of the genus Euphyllia. These corals, recognized for
pronounced fleshy colonies on relatively small coral skeletons, are very
hardy reef tank inhabitants. Although somewhat susceptible to disease,
most advanced reef aquarists maintain colonies that they have kept for
years and years. The most popular of these corals are the 'Torch Coral'
(Euphyllia
Glabrescens), the 'Hammer Coral' (Euphyllia
Ancora) and the 'Frogspawn Coral' (Euphyllia
Divisa) all readily available commercially and through aquacultured
sources.
