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 intended intensity, especially after introduction, and watch for how the coral responds before making further lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause the tissue to stay tightly withdrawn or receive excessive force.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to settle after placement, and adjust its location gradually rather than making abrupt changes.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals because torch corals have stinging potential. Its aggressive temperament means nearby corals should remain outside the reach of extended tentacles.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, keep feedings modest and observe polyp response while maintaining clean, stable reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp extension and tissue condition regularly; changes in flow, lighting, or placement should be made gradually.

Provide stable conditions, indirect movement, and ample space from neighboring corals.
