Transform Your Tank with a Bold, Show-Stopping Colony
Looking for a rare torch that truly commands attention? The NY Knicks Torch is one of the most coveted color morphs in the hobby — a striking colony displaying the signature orange-and-blue tipping that earned it its iconic name. At 8–11 heads, this isn't a frag or a starter piece; it's a mature, fully established colony ready to become the centerpiece of your reef tank.
Torch corals are long-polyp stony (LPS) corals with a satisfying rhythmic sway that brings life and movement to any saltwater aquarium. This colony is already well-sized and will continue to bud new heads over time with proper placement and feeding, rewarding patient aquarists with steady, visible growth. Its flowing tentacles also make it a natural host for clowns, adding dynamic behavior to your display.
