Hellfire Torch
Euphyllia glabrescens. Intermediate to keep, typical PAR 75–150, moderate flow.
A loose trade name. Sellers use it loosely, so trust the photo over the label.
Collector tier: ultra, where the trade ranks it from common through grail. In stock at 8 surveyed shops on 2026-10-19.
Tentacles split along their length, gold to orange on one side and purple on the other, often with a green stripe near the base, ending in mint to pale blue tips, though some sellers describe them pink to purple. The warm tentacle against the cool tip is the trait.
Before you buy one
Tip colour will not reliably separate this from Dragon Soul: most Hellfire photographs show mint to pale blue tips, close to a Dragon Soul's green, and only some sellers describe pink to purple. Sellers blur the two, and these Indonesian torch names are hobbyist inventions rather than standards, so overlap between Hellfire, Dragon Soul and the rest is real rather than always dishonest.
Keeping Euphyllia
Space to sweep, because the tentacles reach further than they look. Hellfire 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 Hellfire 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 $94 to $126 per head, median $115, across 8 shops surveyed on 2026-10-19; the full sweep ran $67 to $300. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers paid. On 2026-10-19 it was in stock at 8 surveyed shops: bluewaterreefaquatics.com, cashdoutcorals.com, gemstatecorals.com, luckycorals.com, prestigeworldwidecorals.com, sargentssignaturecorals.com, and 2 more.
Easily confused with
- Cotton Candy Torch: Pastel tips, pink most often, but on all-green tentacles, not gold to orange.
- Dragon Soul Torch: Neon green tips on gold, close to the mint to pale blue a Hellfire usually shows, so the tip alone will not separate them. Sellers blur the two, and the overlap is real rather than always dishonest.
- Indo Gold Torch: Gold tentacles too, but sold as a group, most often with mauve or pale tips rather than a split warm and cool tentacle.
