🤎💜🔥 Euphyllia glabrescens “Imperial Graft Torch”
Torch Coral – Naturally Grafted Bronze & Deep Purple Morph with Metallic Fusion (WYSIWYG Specimen)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate
Temperament: Aggressive (long sweeper tentacles; allow generous spacing)
Colour Form: The “Imperial Graft Torch” displays a striking natural graft between molten bronze and deep royal purple tissues, creating a dramatic bi-colour fusion along each tentacle. Under actinic lighting, the purple zones intensify into rich violet neon while the bronze areas glow with a copper–gold metallic sheen. Under white light, the graft line becomes clearly visible, revealing seamless transitions between dark plum, wine-purple and warm antique bronze tones.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–9, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Euphylliidae
Lighting: Moderate (PAR 100–150)
Water Flow: Moderate and oscillating
Placement: Mid to lower rockwork, with open space for movement
🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia “Imperial Graft Torch” is a true high-end collector morph, defined by its rare natural graft between dark purple and bronze pigmentation. This is not a simple colour blend — it is a genuine bi-tissue fusion, creating organic, irregular patterns that make every head completely unique.
The contrast between the deep, shadowy purple and the glowing bronze metallic tones produces a dramatic, almost regal aesthetic. As the tentacles sway, the graft lines shift in the light, revealing layers of colour and texture that change with every movement.
Each WYSIWYG head is hand-selected for:
• Clear, natural graft separation between bronze and purple tissues
• Strong saturation in both colour zones
• Thick, elongated tentacle structure with full extension
• Excellent tissue health and inflation
• Solid, well-formed base skeleton
• Long-term colour stability under mixed-spectrum LEDs
A museum-grade torch that delivers power, rarity, and unmistakable visual authority.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most torches, Imperial Graft thrives mainly on photosynthesis but benefits from occasional feeding to support tissue thickness and colour depth.
Feed 1× weekly with:
• Finely chopped mysis, krill, or enriched brine
• Reef roids, coral blends, or microplankton
• Target-feed gently with flow paused for optimal capture response
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Allow 10–15 cm clearance from other corals — torches can extend long sweeper tentacles, especially at night.
Ensure gentle, pulsing flow to maintain natural motion and prevent tissue stress.
Avoid direct laminar flow or sharp rock contact.
