🧬 Overview
The Joker Torch Coral is one of the most striking Euphyllia morphs available — playful yet menacing in its contrast of neon green and royal purple. This dual-head specimen offers dynamic symmetry and radiant colour motion that electrifies any reef.
Its vivid pigmentation and iconic palette make it a collector favourite for those seeking a centrepiece that exudes both elegance and chaos — the ultimate visual thrill.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, deriving energy from light. Occasional target feeding (Reef Roids, Coral Frenzy, Mysis) promotes polyp expansion and growth.
Maintain stable alkalinity and nutrient levels — sudden swings can reduce colour intensity.
Periodic dosing of amino acids, iron, and potassium enhances both purple depth and tip fluorescence.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.07 ppm |
📍 Placement
Provide moderate, variable flow to accentuate tentacle motion and avoid tissue stress. Keep at least 5–8 cm of clearance from other LPS to prevent stinging. Mid-to-low placement under strong blue lighting will showcase its signature green tips and purple glow in full intensity.
