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 chosen intensity and watch for a consistent, comfortable polyp response rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. The polyps should move gently without being blasted by a strong direct current, which can cause stress and poor extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to settle after introduction, and adjust placement only gradually if its polyp response indicates a need.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and 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. Target feed gently when appropriate and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

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

Stable conditions and careful spacing support long-term torch coral care.
