Branching Tiger Torch

Transform Your Tank with Living Fire and Motion

Looking for a showpiece that commands attention... The Branching Tiger Torch (Euphyllia glabrescens) is one of the most visually striking LPS corals available in the reef-keeping hobby. Its long, flowing tentacles display bold tiger-striped banding — vivid gold and green tips against rich, contrasting bases — creating a mesmerizing display that few other corals can rival. Branching colonies are especially prized for their multi-headed structure, making each specimen a statement piece rather than a simple frag.

Torch corals are renowned for their dramatic sway in gentle current, giving any reef tank a sense of depth and life even in a quiet moment. As a branching variety, this specimen has excellent growth potential — over time, new heads will develop along the skeleton, rewarding patient aquarists with an ever-expanding colony. Torches also form well-documented symbiotic relationships with certain clownfish species — a dynamic that makes the display even more captivating to observe.
