Torch corals come from the family Euphyllia, specimens from this family have been a staple in reef aquariums for a long time, the swaying effect that comes from its polyps makes it a popular coral for most type of reef aquariums. It has rather simple care requirements, however proper water parameters are still important as it is a stony coral. These specimens have a green center with white tips.

Torch corals do not require strong lighting and they can be kept under low (30 - 50 par) to medium (50 - 150 par) light.
Moderate to high water movement is recommended, just be sure to not have them blasted with flow from the same direction constantly.
Torch corals derive most of their energy from their zooxanthellae, however they do benefit from additional feeding. They tend to be quite picky with food, however we have had success with Brightwell Reef Blizzard and mysis shrimp.
This is a general guideline, Torch corals are rather sensitive to these parameters, especially to sudden changes or swings. It is ideal to keep all these parameters within range as they will change with time, due its nature as an LPS. A good guideline will be to target stable parameters as long as they are within a reasonable range.
