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.

This is a widely distributed species, rare to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, while uncommon through the northern Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, the central Indo-Pacific, Australia, Southeast Asia, southern Japan and the East China Sea, Micronesia, and American Samoa.

[4] Euphyllia glabrescens can be founds in depths of 1 to 35 meters (3 – 115 feet) in a wide range of reef environments [4]
