Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, and observe its response before making further placement or lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement is ideal; avoid strong direct flow that can keep the polyps from extending comfortably.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with room around the coral and adjust only gradually as it settles into its chosen location.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby corals, so avoid placing it within reach of other specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be provided carefully so it can be accepted without excessive waste.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in light, flow, or water chemistry, and watch polyp extension and overall appearance as practical indicators of how it is settling in.

Give this torch coral stable conditions, indirect flow, and plenty of space.
