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 the intended light level and watch for signs that the coral is adjusting comfortably before making further changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the torch’s tentacles from receiving a constant strong direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location, allow time to adjust, and avoid frequent moves once it is responding well.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep neighboring corals well clear and account for tentacle reach as water movement shifts.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional; keep portions appropriate and avoid allowing uneaten food to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

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

Allow steady conditions and adequate space for reliable long-term care.
