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. Begin with a gentler position during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and response before making gradual placement adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can irritate the fleshy tissue and prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and adjust only gradually if its light or flow response indicates a need.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep surrounding specimens beyond reach of extended tentacles.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid forcing food onto the coral in excessive flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Regularly observe polyp extension, tissue condition, and nearby coral spacing so any lighting, flow, or placement adjustments can be made gradually.

Provide steady care, indirect movement, and room for its tentacles to extend.
