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 light level and watch for changes in extension or coloration when adjusting placement.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting them with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with room around the specimen, secure it carefully, and allow time to adjust before moving it again.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing. Torch corals can sting nearby corals, so keep it clear of neighbors and account for polyp movement in the current.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid forcing food onto the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or placement, and observe polyp extension regularly to guide adjustments.

Allow space, stable conditions, and indirect flow for dependable torch coral care.
