The Knicks Torch is a rare torch coral named for its signature neon orange tentacles and deep blue to purple tips — a color combo that echoes the energy of a roaring stadium. This Euphyllia glabrescens variety is a must-have for collectors looking to add motion, fire, and contrast to their reef.
Coral Highlights:
🟠 Neon Orange Tentacles – Vibrant movement under actinic light

🔥 Signature Flow – Long, swaying tentacles make it the MVP of your reef
💡 Lighting: Moderate to high PAR (100–250) – brings out full fluorescence
🌊 Flow: Moderate and indirect – promotes polyp extension and prevents damage
