This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Start in a lower-light area during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while observing polyp extension and overall response.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle changing movement should keep the polyps moving without exposing the coral to strong direct water flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and secure the specimen where its polyps have open space to extend.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep their flowing polyps clear of neighbors and avoid crowding.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize consistent conditions and observe how the coral responds before establishing a routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and regularly watch polyp extension and surrounding spacing as the coral settles in.

Plan its placement carefully and maintain stable conditions for consistent care.
