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 the coral gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe its response before making further placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving without blasting them with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after placement, and avoid frequent moves unless its lighting or flow response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential and should not be positioned where their extended polyps can contact other corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions appropriate and avoid disrupting the coral with overly forceful feeding flow.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow, or water chemistry, and monitor polyp extension and overall response as it settles into the aquarium.

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