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 and watch for normal extension and overall response before making further light adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the polyps moving, while strong direct flow can cause stress and should be avoided.

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

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby corals, so avoid placing it where its tentacles can reach other specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize stable reef conditions and observe the coral’s response to any feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or placement, and monitor polyp extension and tissue condition as it settles into the aquarium.

Give this torch coral space, stable care, and appropriately gentle water movement.
