Names that contain “Dragon Soul Torch” and are not this coral: Dragon Soul Favia. They are separate corals traded at their own prices, so read the animal rather than the label.
Deep purple to midnight stems, electric gold tentacles, and bright neon green tips. The green tip against the gold is the trait.
Before you buy one
Tip colour on torches shifts with lighting and can be faked in a photo with the right blues. A settled head under mixed light is the only honest look. Be especially wary of a listing showing orange or red tips: that is a different torch. And hold the name loosely. Indonesian gold torches were split into Dragon Soul, Hellfire, Indo Gold and others by the people selling them rather than by anyone describing them, the names are applied differently from exporter to exporter, and at least one vendor lists a single coral as a 'Dragon Soul/Hellfire'. Lineage from a seller who will name it is worth more than the label.
Keeping Euphyllia
Space to sweep, because the tentacles reach further than they look. Dragon Soul Torch is intermediate to keep at a typical PAR of 75–150 in moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.
What Dragon Soul Torch goes for
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 $80 to $124 per head, median $102, across 14 shops surveyed on 2026-10-19; the full sweep ran $50 to $175. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers paid. On 2026-10-19 it was in stock at 14 surveyed shops: cashdoutcorals.com, coralstop.com, cornbredcorals.com, discountcoral.com, jaysexoticaquatics.com, luckycorals.com, and 8 more.
Easily confused with
- Hellfire Torch: Mint to pale blue tips in most photographs, pink to purple by some sellers' account, on tentacles split gold and purple. Close enough to a Dragon Soul that the tip alone will not settle it.
- Holy Grail Torch: Under the strict reading, pale blue tips with the green kept to the mouth. A Dragon Soul carries the green at the tips.
- Indo Gold Torch: A group rather than one coral, most often with mauve or pale tips. Neon green tips over gold point to a Dragon Soul.
