-
Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
-
Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
-
Temperament: Aggressive
-
Care Level: Moderate
Lighting
Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to its intended intensity and watch for a consistent, comfortable polyp extension response.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. The polyps should move gently without being blasted by a strong direct stream or held in one direction.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to settle after placement, and adjust location gradually if its response suggests the flow or light is unsuitable.
Temperament
Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential and should be positioned so their extended polyps cannot contact nearby specimens.
Feeding
Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding gently can help avoid excessive disturbance to the polyps.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and observe polyp extension regularly when making adjustments.
Provide room, stable conditions, and indirect flow for reliable torch coral care.
