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 intended intensity and observe polyp extension and overall response as it settles in.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves once it is responding well.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby specimens, especially when their polyps extend or shift with water movement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional meaty foods may be offered. Target feeding can be done gently when polyps are extended.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in light, flow, or water chemistry, and watch for changes in extension after any adjustment.

Plan its placement carefully and leave room for its reach.
