Care Level: Moderate
Lighting
Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Observe the coral as it adjusts, and avoid abrupt lighting changes that can cause unnecessary stress.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect, varied flow; never place it in strong direct flow. Its tentacles should move naturally without being pinned in one direction or blasted by a pump.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas in a secure position. Allow time to acclimate before moving it, and make any placement adjustments gradually.
Temperament
Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from all neighbors. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep other corals outside the reach of extended tentacles.
Feeding
Offer occasional meaty foods if desired, though feeding is optional. Feed gently and avoid directing food or flow forcefully onto the coral.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Regularly observe tentacle extension and tissue condition, then make gradual adjustments to lighting, placement, or flow when needed.
Provide stable conditions, indirect movement, and ample space for this torch coral.
