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 changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps the polyps extend while strong direct flow should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with room around the coral, then allow time to settle before adjusting placement.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and can sting nearby specimens, so keep potential contact well clear.

Feeding

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

General Care

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

Give this torch coral stable conditions and ample space to settle in.
