Blue Tip Gold Grail Torch Coral Frag
The Blue Tip Gold Grail Torch is a premium Euphyllia coral celebrated for its rich golden tentacles contrasted by vivid blue tips. With intense fluorescence and constant, flowing movement, this torch delivers exceptional visual impact and is widely regarded as a true collector-grade centrepiece.
Elegant yet bold, the Gold Grail Torch stands out for its depth of colour and refined contrast, making it a standout addition to high-end LPS and mixed reef systems.
Natural Habitat & Distribution
Torch corals (Euphyllia glabrescens) are found throughout the Indo-Pacific, including:
Indonesia
Australia (Great Barrier Reef)
Fiji and Tonga
The Philippines
They naturally inhabit sheltered reef slopes and lagoon environments where lighting is moderate and water movement is gentle to moderate.
A Brief History
Gold Grail torches became highly sought after as reef keepers gravitated toward warmer-toned Euphyllia with extreme fluorescence. The addition of blue-tipped variants elevated their desirability further, offering sharper contrast and enhanced visual depth under modern LED lighting.
