Overview

'Banana Torch' is a trade name for a torch coral named for its bright yellow tentacles. Its color range sits close to the gold torches, but the tone leans toward true yellow rather than gold and pops vividly under blue lighting. It is traded by name, yet the depth of yellow varies between individuals, and under some lighting the boundary with gold torches blurs. Care follows Euphyllia in general: moderate light, gentle flow, and spacing for its sweeper tentacles. It is prone to brown jelly disease, so avoid wounds and sudden water-quality changes. We treat it here as a trade-name lineage.

How to identify

Where Indo Gold and 24K Gold read as gold to deep yellow-orange, Banana Torch leans toward a purer yellow. Under white light the gold group picks up a brownish cast while Banana stays yellow, which is the usual way to tell them apart.

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 vividness of the yellow and the seller.

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