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 when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe polyp extension and overall response before making further changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause the flesh and polyps to remain stressed or withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with room around it. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves once it has settled.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep its flowing tentacles well clear of other corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are extended, and avoid blasting food into the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Watch for consistent polyp extension, then adjust placement or flow gradually if the coral appears persistently withdrawn.

Provide stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space for long-term care.
