Overview
The Green Joker Torch Coral is a visually arresting Euphyllia glabrescens morph, renowned for its bold green base and vibrant neon tips—evoking the dramatic contrast of its comic-book namesake. This torch is a dynamic centrepiece coral, ideal for hobbyists seeking motion, colour, and attitude in one specimen.
It offers sweeping polyp extension and rhythmic movement under flow, adding energy and life to reef aquascapes. Whether placed as a stand-alone showpiece or amongst other Euphyllia, its electric palette makes it unmissable.
Care & Feeding
This coral thrives in stable reef parameters with medium to high lighting. It is photosynthetic but will respond well to target feeding of coral foods like reef roids, rotifers, and fine mysis. Regular feeding enhances colour saturation, polyp extension, and tissue health.
Its long, stinging sweeper tentacles necessitate generous spacing—especially from sensitive species. Euphyllia aggression is chemical and physical, so ensure enough territory around each head.
