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 light level and watch for changes in polyp extension as it settles.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting the coral with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after introduction, and make placement changes gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals have stinging potential and can harm neighbors that are placed within reach of their extended polyps.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are extended and avoid excessive food accumulation.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and observe polyp extension and overall appearance during acclimation and routine maintenance.

Consistent placement and gentle flow help this torch coral settle in well.
