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 when moving it into a brighter area, and observe polyp extension as it settles into its chosen location.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving gently without blasting the coral with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to adjust after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it once it responds well.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby specimens, so leave room for extended polyps and avoid contact.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid using forceful flow during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp behavior after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, making changes gradually rather than all at once.

Plan spacing carefully and provide consistent, indirect water movement.
