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 it gradually to its chosen intensity and watch for how it responds before making further placement or lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle changing movement is preferred; avoid strong direct flow that can keep the tentacles from extending naturally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with room around the coral, then allow time to settle before relocating it unless its response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing. Torch corals have stinging potential and should not be placed close enough to contact neighboring corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered but are not required. Target feeding may be useful when done carefully without overwhelming the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes, observe tentacle extension and overall response, and adjust lighting, flow, or placement gradually rather than all at once.

Allow space, stable conditions, and indirect flow for long-term care.
