The green torch coral adds a lot of movement to my tank. It’s vibrant and active, especially under moderate lighting. I kept it with other Euphyllia species and they look great together. Growth has been steady over the past few months.

Beautiful coloration with clear white and blue tips. It’s not the fastest grower, but it’s very eye-catching. I maintain moderate flow and light, and it’s thriving. Would recommend for reef tanks with some experience.

I’ve had this coral for six months now and it’s one of the most dynamic pieces in my tank. The way it moves in the current is impressive. It’s a bit sensitive to strong flow, but with proper care, it’s very rewarding.
