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 when introducing it to brighter conditions, and observe its response before making further light adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that allows the polyps to move naturally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the coral from extending comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time to adjust before moving it or changing nearby flow and lighting.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Torch corals have stinging potential, so keep surrounding specimens well clear of its extended polyps.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, provide appropriately sized foods and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Check polyp extension and tissue condition regularly, then adjust placement or flow gradually if its response indicates stress.

Consistent placement, gentle acclimation, and adequate spacing support long-term torch coral care.
