Torch corals thrive under moderate to high PAR (100-250) but can adapt to lower light conditions if acclimated slowly. They prefer moderate to strong, indirect water flow that allows their polyps to extend fully and sway gently without being blasted.

Use a high-quality salt mix and perform regular water changes to maintain these levels. Proper acclimation to your tank is essential; a drip acclimation for 30-60 minutes is recommended to gradually introduce the coral to your water parameters.

Torch corals can be aggressive due to their long sweeping tentacles, which can sting neighboring corals.
