Pink Tip Malaysian Torch

Pink Tip Malaysian Torch

The Pink Tip Malaysian Torch is a gorgeous and highly sought-after variant of Euphyllia glabrescens originating from the rich coral reefs of Malaysia. Its long, flowing tentacles — typically a warm gold or green base with vivid pink tips — create a stunning, anemone-like display that sways gracefully with the current. Malaysian torches are prized for their exceptional tentacle length and bold tip coloration, making them a standout addition to any reef.
