New York Knicks Torch

About this coral

New York Knicks Torch is a torch-type LPS coral for reef aquariums, chosen for its large, fleshy polyps and classic “torch” look. In practical terms, it’s an eye-catching centerpiece coral for aquarists who can provide stable saltwater conditions and appropriate, moderate lighting and water movement. Because “New York Knicks Torch” is a shop naming convention, this listing focuses on general torch/LPS-type Euphyllia husbandry as a starting point rather than guaranteeing a specific species or morph-level requirements.

Features:

• LPS torch coral style with large, fleshy polyps that are most likely to extend when conditions are stable.
• Moderate light and medium flow help support normal polyp extension for Euphyllia-type corals.
• Tank placement matters: give the coral enough space from neighbors to reduce the chance of contact from sweeper tentacles.
• A “moderate care” coral—generally suited to aquarists who can maintain consistent water quality rather than chasing exact daily parameter swings.
• Provides benefit to mixed reefs when kept on compatible flow/lighting zones and spaced away from other sessile animals.
• If your flow is too aggressive or your lighting is off for the acclimation area, polyp extension may lessen. Start in a suitable spot and adjust gradually.
