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 final intensity and watch polyp extension as it adjusts to the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. The polyps should move gently; avoid strong direct flow that can keep the coral retracted or cause irritation.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with adequate clearance, secure the specimen carefully, and allow time to adjust before making placement changes.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep their reach in mind as polyps extend and move with the current.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. If feeding, target the extended polyps gently and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or chemistry, and observe polyp extension regularly for signs that placement or conditions need adjustment.

Allow consistent conditions and ample space for long-term torch coral care.
