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 chosen intensity, particularly when moving it from a different lighting environment.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving without blasting them. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to settle after placement, and adjust its position only if its polyp response suggests the location is unsuitable.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting neighboring corals, so keep its reach in mind as the polyps extend and move with flow.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, feed lightly and observe the coral's response rather than relying on frequent target feeding.

General Care

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

A stable, gently moving placement helps this torch coral settle in well.
