This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe its response before making further placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without exposing the coral to a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable position and allow time to adjust before moving it for light or flow refinement.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from other corals. Torch corals are aggressive and have stinging potential, so keep neighboring specimens well outside reach of extended polyps.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional; use small portions and avoid letting excess food accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in light, flow, or water chemistry, and regularly observe polyp extension and overall condition after any adjustment.

Give it room, steady conditions, and gentle indirect movement.
