🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia “Green Lizard Banana Torch” is a high-impact morph known for its savage colour contrast and reptilian tone. The combination of toxic green and banana yellow gives this torch a primal, almost jungle-like aesthetic — raw, vibrant, and impossible to ignore.
Each tentacle is thick, fleshy, and highly extended, moving with powerful, predatory flow. The colour distribution is irregular and natural, making every head visually dynamic and unique.
Each WYSIWYG head is hand-selected for:
• Intense lizard-green saturation
• Strong banana-yellow highlights
• Thick, elongated tentacle structure
• Full inflation and aggressive extension
• Excellent tissue health and solid skeleton
• Proven colour stability under LED lighting
A torch that brings wild energy and exotic intensity to any high-end reef.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most torches, Green Lizard Banana thrives mainly on photosynthesis but benefits from occasional feeding to maintain tissue mass and colour punch.
Feed 1× weekly with:
• Finely chopped mysis or krill
• Reef roids, coral blends, or microplankton
• Target-feed gently with flow paused for best capture
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Allow 10–15 cm clearance from other corals — torches can extend long sweeper tentacles, especially at night.
Ensure gentle, pulsing flow to keep tentacles moving naturally without stressing tissue.
Avoid direct laminar flow or sharp rock contact.
