Overview

'Aussie Gold Torch' is an origin-based label for gold torches traded as Australian stock; it is a color-form and origin label rather than a single propagated lineage. Compared with Indonesian imports, specimens tend to have thicker, shorter tentacles and a more subdued gold, and some keepers value them for hardiness. Care follows Euphyllia in general: moderate light, gentle flow, and spacing for its sweeper tentacles. Brown jelly disease precautions are the same as for other torches. We treat it here as a color-form and origin lineage.

How to identify

It is distinguished from Indo Gold Torch by origin label: Australian pieces more often have thick, short tentacles with a subdued gold, while Indonesian ones tend toward slender tentacles with brighter gold tips. Individual variation is large, and origin cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

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, roughly ten thousand to several tens of thousands of yen per head. Australian-labeled stock tends to sit above Indonesian imports, and prices vary with coloration and seller.

Varies widely by season, specimen and seller. Treat as a rough guide.
