Everything you need to keep Torch Coral healthy in a South African setup.
A minimum 200L aquarium suits Torch Coral. Match décor to natural behaviour — plants, rockwork, or open swimming room as needed.
Keep pH 8.1–8.4 and 24–27°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Torch Coral is photosynthetic; benefits from target feeding. Feed a varied diet appropriate for invertebrates — quality flakes, pellets, or frozen foods sized to the mouth.
Torch Coral is generally aggressive sweeper tentacles. Observe during feeding and at lights-out for true temperament.
Pair with similarly sized aggressive sweeper tentacles tankmates in invertebrates. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
