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 observe polyp extension as it settles into the reef.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after placement, and avoid repeatedly moving it once it is responding well.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential and can be aggressive, so keep their reach in mind when planning the surrounding aquascape.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding should be gentle and should not overwhelm the coral with excess food.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity. Avoid sudden changes, monitor its extension and overall response, and make adjustments gradually rather than changing light, flow, or placement all at once.

Plan its spacing carefully and provide consistent, moderate reef conditions.
