Overview
The NY Knicks Torch Coral is a vibrant and ultra-rare Euphyllia glabrescens morph, prized for its unmistakable colouration — fiery orange tentacles contrasted with deep electric blue tips, inspired by the iconic colours of the New York Knicks basketball team.
A true collector’s coral, the Knicks Torch is highly photogenic under both white and actinic lighting, with flowing tentacles that give it incredible movement and presence. Whether you're into reef aesthetics or high-end coral collecting, this piece makes a serious statement.
Care & Feeding
As a photosynthetic coral, the NY Knicks Torch gains energy from light but will thrive with occasional target feeding of reef-specific foods — like reef roids, rotifers, or fine meaty blends. Feeding can promote growth, intensify coloration, and improve overall health.
Due to its long sweeper tentacles, keep a safe distance between this coral and others to prevent stinging or tissue damage.

Placement
Position your NY Knicks Torch in a moderately lit area at the bottom to mid-section of the tank. Moderate indirect flow is ideal to allow its tentacles to sway without being blasted directly. Ensure a safe buffer zone to accommodate its aggressive reach.
