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 the coral’s response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. The polyps should move naturally without being pushed forcefully in one direction, so avoid strong direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable location where its polyps have room to extend without contacting nearby corals.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from other corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby neighbors, particularly when their extended polyps reach across the surrounding area.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully to avoid unnecessary stress or excessive waste.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp extension and overall response after adjustments to lighting, flow, feeding, or placement.

Give this torch room, stable conditions, and indirect water movement.
