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, then observe its response before making further lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the tentacles from moving naturally and may cause stress.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location that receives indirect movement, and allow time to settle after acclimation.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and have stinging potential, so keep their reach in mind as tentacles extend and move with flow.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently and avoid creating excessive flow or disturbance during feeding.

General Care

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

Give this torch coral stable conditions, indirect flow, and plenty of room.
