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 in a gentler area while acclimating, then make gradual placement adjustments based on its response.

Flow

Provide moderate, indirect, varied flow, and do not place it in strong direct flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps rather than blast them.

Placement

Place this coral in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves or abrupt changes in light and flow.

Temperament

Give it generous space from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby corals, so plan for polyp extension when choosing its location.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional and should not replace stable reef conditions or consistent observation.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp behavior after adjustments and make corrections gradually. Moderate care is best suited to reef keepers prepared to maintain consistent conditions.

Allow ample spacing and keep water conditions steady.
