Overview

'Joker Torch' is a trade name for a torch coral named after its contrasting purple-and-green color scheme. It is a two-tone type whose color switches between tentacle base and tip, and it stands out among torches dominated by gold and warm tones. It is traded by name, but how strongly the purple shows depends on lighting and the individual. 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

Against the equally two-toned NY Knicks Torch, which pairs blue and orange, Joker is identified by its purple-and-green combination. It is told from Toxic Splatter by pattern: Joker splits color between base and tip, while Splatter scatters it in speckles.

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 purple coloration and the seller.
