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 and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Observe polyp extension and response after placement before making lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the tentacles moving naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause the coral to remain withdrawn or become stressed.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with room around the tentacles. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and avoid repeatedly relocating it.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals because torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby specimens. Keep its tentacles clear of other corals, especially as they extend under changing flow.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and small targeted portions can help avoid leaving excess food in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Watch for consistent tentacle extension and adjust placement only when observations indicate lighting or flow is unsuitable.

Give this torch coral space, stable conditions, and gentle varied movement.
