Toxic Green Blue Tip Torch Coral Frag
The Toxic Green Blue Tip Torch is a high-impact Euphyllia coral known for its intense neon-green tentacles contrasted by striking blue tips. With constant flowing movement and strong fluorescence under blue lighting, this torch delivers exceptional presence and instantly draws the eye in both mixed and LPS-dominant reef systems.
Bold, vibrant, and full of motion, this coral is ideal for reef keepers looking to add colour, energy, and a premium Euphyllia centrepiece to their display.
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
Torch corals have long been prized for their flowing tentacles and aggressive presence. “Toxic” green morphs with contrasting blue tips became especially desirable with the rise of LED lighting, which enhances fluorescence and sharpens colour separation.
The Toxic Green Blue Tip Torch is valued for its vivid colour intensity and strong visual contrast.

Lighting: Medium
Best placed in the mid to lower areas of the aquarium

Flow Requirements
Provide gentle to moderate, indirect flow.
Tentacles should sway naturally
Avoid strong, direct flow which can damage tissue
Water Chemistry
Stable reef parameters are essential. Maintain consistent levels of:
Calcium
Alkalinity
Magnesium
Alongside stable salinity and temperature. Regular testing and water changes are recommended.
Feeding
While photosynthetic, this torch coral benefits from occasional feeding:
Mysis shrimp
Brine shrimp
LPS-specific coral foods
Feeding once or twice weekly can support growth and colour intensity.
