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 intensity, particularly when moving it from a system with different lighting conditions.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause the tissue to stay retracted or become stressed.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with room around the coral, then observe polyp extension and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing 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

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without blasting the coral with flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes, watch for consistent polyp extension, and make adjustments one at a time when lighting, flow, or placement needs refinement.

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