📜 Backstory
A wild-collected dark Euphyllia glabrescens color form sold broadly (e.g. black torch with yellow, orange, or green tips).

As a wild morph the general Black Torch lineage is unstandardized; the Abyss is the notable named selection.
Keeper tips for this variant
Darker torches hold color under moderate light without bleaching; keep moderate, indirect flow and feed regularly, as dark pigments come from healthy, well-fed tissue.
