Overview
The Holy Guacamole Torch is a vibrant Euphyllia morph that brings a fresh burst of green to your reef. Its electric green tentacles, tipped in a creamy yellow-lime, create a luminous contrast under blue lighting—resembling the colour of ripe avocado under reef shimmer.
Highly sought after for both colour and motion, this torch is a show-stopping centrepiece in any aquascape, offering a balance of tropical intensity and elegance.
Care & Feeding
Photosynthetic and hardy under stable parameters, the Holy Guacamole Torch thrives with supplemental feeding. Target-feed 1–2 times a week with fine particle foods like reef roids, enriched Mysis, or marine snow to enhance colour saturation and polyp extension.
Due to its aggressive sweeper tentacles, ensure safe spacing from neighbouring corals.
Optimal Parameters

Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Place it on the bottom to mid-tier of the tank, ideally in moderate flow zones. Too little flow can lead to detritus buildup; too much may cause retraction or tissue damage. Avoid placement near other LPS or SPS species due to its long reach.
