Overview

'Toxic Splatter Torch' is a trade name for a torch coral named for its fluorescent green ('toxic') scattered across the tentacles like paint splatter. Rather than a solid or two-tone piece, it is prized as a patterned type, and the green fluoresces strongly under blue lighting. It is traded by name, but the density of the speckling and the base color vary between individuals. 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 Joker and NY Knicks split color between base and tip, Toxic Splatter is identified by fluorescent green scattered in speckles. It is told from Green Tip Torch by where the green sits: confined to the tips on Green Tip, splattered along the whole tentacle on Splatter.

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 density of the speckling and the seller.

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