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, and observe its response before making further lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable extension and cause tissue stress.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate after placement, and adjust position gradually rather than making abrupt changes.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and have stinging potential, so keep its polyps well clear of nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered gently without blasting the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp extension and overall appearance after adjustments to lighting, flow, placement, or feeding, then make changes gradually.

Provide room, steady conditions, and indirect movement for reliable torch coral care.
