The Hellfire Torch Coral is an Indonesian torch coral colour morph that is very popular among hobbyists and collectors. It has long flowing tentacles similar to other Indonesian torch corals and grows in a branching structure. Its tentacles are half gold, half purple with a green stripe near the base. The tips of the tentacles are either pink or purple, and it is widely considered one of the most colourful torch corals. It is a colonial coral and grows through splitting, with a single head slowly dividing into two.

The “Hellfire” name was hobbyist-created and can be somewhat subjective in the trade — the most common definition describes pink/light purple tips with tentacles that are half orange and half purple with green stripes near the base.

Defining Characteristics

Its tentacles are half gold, half purple with a green stripe near the base. The tips of the tentacles are either pink or purple.

The most common trade definition describes pink/light purple tips, with tentacles that are half orange and half purple, with green stripes near the base.

Important Caveat

The “Hellfire” name was hobbyist-created and can be somewhat subjective in the trade. No two pieces are alike and the variant identity can differ between sellers.

In summary, the three things to look for are:

• Bi-colour tentacles — gold/orange on one half, purple on the other
• Green striping near the base of the tentacles
• Pink or light purple tips

If a coral doesn’t show all three of those traits, it may be mislabelled. Because the name is hobbyist-created and not a regulated classification, it’s worth asking the vendor for a clear photo under white light, not just blue/actinic, before purchasing.
