Electric Tip Torch Coral

What It Is
The Electric Tip Torch Coral is a stunning Fimbriaphyllia glabrescens variety featuring long, flowing tentacles finished with contrasting electric blue tips. The vivid blue highlights glow intensely under reef lighting, creating a striking contrast against the deeper body colour. As the tentacles sway in the current, this coral produces movement and colour that few other reef corals can match.

Why We Like It
Torch corals are among the most desirable corals in the hobby, and this variety perfectly demonstrates why. The flowing tentacles create constant motion, while the electric blue tips add a unique flash of colour that stands out even in a tank full of high-end corals. Whether displayed as a single showpiece or incorporated into a larger Euphyllia garden, the Electric Tip Torch always attracts attention and adds a premium look to a reef aquarium.

Notes
Torch corals require adequate spacing from neighbouring corals, as they can extend long sweeper tentacles capable of delivering a powerful sting. Best colouration and extension are typically achieved in stable reef systems with consistent alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels. The combination of flowing movement and glowing electric blue tips makes this variety an exceptional centrepiece coral and a favourite among Euphyllia collectors.
