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 and acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Observe polyp extension as the coral settles, especially after any lighting adjustment.

Flow

Provide moderate, indirect, varied flow that gently moves the polyps. Position the coral away from pumps or outlets that create forceful, direct water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open room around the specimen. Allow time to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep extended polyps from reaching nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired; feeding is optional. Feed gently when polyps are extended and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially consistent salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp response after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, making changes gradually when needed.

Allow acclimation time and maintain generous space as the polyps extend.
