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 its final intensity and watch its response before making further lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause tissue stress.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after introduction, and secure it where its polyps can extend freely.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals are aggressive and have stinging potential, so keep their extended polyps well clear of other specimens.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Moderate care is best supported by consistent observation of polyp extension, placement, flow, and lighting response.

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