Dragon Soul Torch Coral

Dragon Soul Torch Coral is a named torch variety with a long-tentacled polyp above a stony base. A clear area around the colony allows its tentacles to move without repeatedly touching rock or a neighbouring coral.

Moderate illumination is a useful starting point when acclimating it to a new aquarium. Provide variable circulation that passes around the coral, avoiding a direct jet into the fleshy head. Handle and secure the skeleton carefully so expanded tissue is not squeezed during placement.

This coral obtains much of its nutrition through photosynthesis, but may accept small marine foods. Observe actual capture and keep portions restrained. Its sweeper tentacles can damage nearby colonies, so inspect spacing at different times of day and increase the gap as either the torch or its neighbours grow.
