Euphyllia glabrescens. Intermediate to keep, Typical PAR 75–150, moderate flow.
Rarity tier: uncommon, reviewed 2026-08.
Soft yellow body with gold tips, and a distinctly SHORT, STUBBY tentacle where a standard torch sweeps long and wavy. The tentacle shape is what makes it recognisable at a glance, more reliably than the yellow.
Genuinely yellow rather than gold-brown. A tired Banana browns out first at the base, so check where the tentacle meets the head. A Holy Grail Banana is the premium version of the same tentacle shape and carries neon green at the base; a plain Banana runs warm yellow and gold without it, so that green is what the price difference is for.
Space to sweep, because the tentacles reach further than they look. Banana Torch is intermediate to keep at a typical PAR of 75–150 in moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral rather than a measured requirement for this morph. Spectrum, how it was acclimated and the system it grew in all move it.
No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per head and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One head is one polyp of a branching LPS. A five-head piece is divided by five before it is compared to anything. Nothing on this page is for sale. Shops are typically asking $223 to $250 per head, median $225, across 3 shops surveyed on 2026-09-07; the full sweep ran $220 to $275. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers paid.
