Todd's Torch

Euphyllia glabrescens. Intermediate to keep, typical PAR 75–150, moderate flow.

Also sold as Todds Torch, OG Todd's Torch.

An established line. The same coral under this name at any shop.

Collector tier: uncommon, reviewed 2026-08.

A torch that is bright to neon green from mouth to tip, with long tentacles each ending in a purple to dark blue tip. The saturated green against the dark tip is the look.

How to tell it is the real thing

The name promises a lineage, not a colour grade: one shop traces it to Dr. Todd Whitman, a hobbyist in Rochester, New York, and farms have grown it for years since. The look itself is shared with plenty of generic green torches with blue tips, some sold as toxic green, and one shop even lists a Todd's under Holy Grail, so the colour cannot prove the name. A pink tip rules it out; that is a Cotton Candy. Ask the seller for the lineage.

Keeping Euphyllia

Space to sweep, because the tentacles reach further than they look. Todd's 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 Todd's 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.
