Overview

'Hellfire Torch' is a trade name for a torch coral with flame-like red-to-orange tentacles, and alongside Dragon Soul it is one of the best-known labels in the high-end torch market. It is traded by name, but color depends heavily on the individual and the lighting, so specimens under the same name can look quite different. Care follows Euphyllia in general: moderate light, gentle flow, and generous spacing because of its long sweeper tentacles. As with other torches, guard against brown jelly disease by avoiding wounds and sudden water-quality changes. We treat it here as a trade-name lineage.

How to identify

It is most often compared with Dragon Soul Torch. Hellfire tends to be described by its uniformly flame-like red-to-orange tentacles rather than by tip contrast. The distinction ultimately depends on the seller's labeling.

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 up to well over a hundred thousand yen per head. Prices vary widely with coloration and seller, and healthy large colonies go higher still.

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