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 to its final intensity and watch polyp extension and overall response before making further 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 lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate after placement, and adjust only if its response indicates a need.

Temperament

Keep generous space around this aggressive coral. Torch corals can sting nearby corals, so account for polyp reach and avoid close placement beside sensitive neighbors.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, use appropriately sized foods and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or chemistry, and regularly observe polyp extension and nearby corals for signs that spacing or placement needs adjustment.

Plan its placement carefully, then allow stable conditions to support consistent extension.
