Joker Torch Coral – Why So Serious?

The Joker Torch is chaos incarnate, and it's smiling about it. This twisted masterpiece rocks deep purple tentacles that fade to electric yellow-green tips—the exact color scheme of Gotham's most notorious villain. When those tentacles sway in the current, it's like watching controlled madness in motion, each polyp telling its own joke that only other torches understand. This isn't just a torch—it's a performance piece that never stops entertaining.

At Treasure Corals, we've learned the Joker has a sense of humor about placement. Too much light? It laughs and turns brown. Too little? The yellow tips disappear like a bad punchline. But nail that sweet spot and you get the full act—deep, sinister purple flowing into that maniacal yellow-green that pops like a grin in the dark. Under actinics, this torch puts on a show that would make any supervillain jealous.

The Joker Torch doesn't play well with others—those sweepers come out at night looking for trouble. Give it space to perform and it'll reward you with movement and color that transforms your tank into your own personal Gotham. Watch it at feeding time when those tentacles go wild—pure calculated chaos.

For the reefer who likes their coral with a little personality disorder, the Joker isn't just a torch—it's the wildcard that makes your whole tank more interesting. Some corals just want to watch the worm burn.
