Euphyllia glabrescens is a species of large-polyped stony coral belonging to the family Euphylliidae.[2] Its common name is the torch coral due to its long sweeper tentacles tipped with potent cnidocytes.[3] It is a commonly kept species in the marine aquarium hobby, particularly specimens from Indonesia and Fiji, who fulfilled annual export quotas of 28,000 and 6,000 pieces, respectively, in 2005.[4]
