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 a brighter area, and observe its response before making further changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement is preferred; avoid strong direct flow that can cause the polyps to remain withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and adjust its position only if lighting or flow appears unsuitable.

Temperament

Give it generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting neighboring corals, so keep its flowing polyps clear of other specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully without subjecting the coral to forceful flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp extension and overall appearance after adjustments to lighting, flow, placement, or routine maintenance.

Consistent placement and room to expand support long-term torch coral care.
