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. Begin with a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching for a consistent, comfortable extension response.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement helps the polyps move naturally, while strong direct flow can cause stress and should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and make adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.

Temperament

Give it generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals are aggressive and have stinging potential, so avoid positioning it where extended polyps can contact neighboring specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully so it does not blow away in the current.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or placement, and observe polyp behavior regularly for signs that conditions need adjustment.

Plan its location carefully and leave room for its extended polyps.
