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 intensity, then observe polyp extension and overall response before making further adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow and avoid strong direct flow. Movement should gently sway the polyps without forcefully blasting the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a suitable lower location during acclimation, then adjust only if its response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. Torch corals have stinging potential and can be aggressive, so keep their tentacles from reaching neighboring specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and food should be delivered carefully to avoid excess waste in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes, observe polyp extension regularly, and make adjustments gradually rather than changing lighting, flow, or placement all at once.

Give this torch coral space, stable conditions, and gentle indirect movement.
