Flow: Will extend its flesh more in lower flow, but can tolerate relatively high flow |
Care Notes: Torch corals are on of the harder of the euphyllia family to keep and must be kept in water with stable alkalinity. |

Other Notes: As with most LPS corals alkalinity and calcium are very important, so careful monitoring is recommended. |
