Overview
The NY Knicks Ultra Orange Torch is one of the most visually striking Euphyllia glabrescens morphs available. With vivid tangerine-orange tentacles that pulse under reef lighting and bluish to violet tip accents, this coral is a living firework β instantly turning heads in any reef display.
Originating from high-end collections, the βUltra Orangeβ variation of the Knicks Torch intensifies the contrast and saturation of the traditional Knicks colour morph, making it highly prized among advanced hobbyists and collectors.
Care & Feeding
This torch coral thrives under stable reef conditions with moderate to high PAR lighting. While photosynthetic, it benefits greatly from periodic feeding with coral foods such as reef roids, rotifers, or micronised meaty blends. This enhances growth, tissue thickness, and colour brilliance.
Ensure generous spacing around it, as its sweeper tentacles are long and capable of stinging neighbouring corals.
