Care Tips:

• Water Parameters:

Temperature - 24°C-26°C

Salinity - 1.022-1.026

Alkalinity - 8-9dKH

Nitrate - 2-15ppm

Phosphate - 0.03-0.10ppm

• Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, Torch Corals benefit from supplemental feedings with meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral-specific foods. Feeding at night or when the tentacles are fully extended can enhance growth and colour vibrancy.
• Placement Considerations: Due to their long sweeper tentacles, Torch Corals should be placed with enough space to prevent them from stinging and damaging neighbouring corals. They thrive in areas with moderate flow and lighting, where their tentacles can sway naturally.

Perfect for Intermediate and Advanced Aquarists:

Torch Corals are best suited for reef keepers who have some experience with coral care and are looking to add a visually stunning and dynamic coral to their tank. Their semi-aggressive nature requires careful placement, but their beauty and movement are well worth the effort.
