Overview

'24K Gold Torch' is a trade name given to torches whose tentacles are saturated in deep gold along their entire length, not just at the tips, and it sits near the top of the gold torch group. As the 'pure gold' name implies, the intensity of the color drives its valuation, and it is priced well apart from the common Indo Gold. Care follows Euphyllia in general: moderate light, gentle flow, and spacing for its long sweeper tentacles. It is prone to brown jelly disease, so avoid wounds and sudden water-quality changes and keep conditions stable to hold the color. We treat it here as a trade-name lineage.

How to identify

Indo Gold and Green Tip torches show green-to-brown tentacle bases with gold only at the tips, whereas 24K Gold is gold all the way down. Judge by how far and how deeply the gold extends, and compare under the same lighting since the impression shifts with the light.

Grade tiers

Grade names used in the trade for this genus. Criteria vary by seller.

Standard

Common specimens with green or brown tentacles tipped in white to yellow.

Select

Specimens with gold, pink or purple coloration on the tentacles or tips; named trade lines usually fall here.

Torch coral pricing is driven by trade name (such as Dragon Soul) and head count rather than grade.

Typical price range

As a rough guide, several tens of thousands of yen per head. Prices vary widely with the depth of the gold and the seller, and fully saturated specimens command the most.
