Rasta Torch

About this coral

ASD Rasta Torch is a named torch coral offered for reef aquariums. Torch corals are large-polyp stony corals with long, fleshy tentacles, and this listing identifies the animal by its common coral group rather than a verified scientific species. It can serve as a prominent feature in a suitable reef display. The care notes below are general guidance for torch corals; they do not establish special requirements for this particular named variety.

Features:

• A large-polyp stony coral with fleshy tentacles that move with the surrounding water.
• A reef-display coral that can provide a focal point among other suitably spaced corals.
• Torch corals are photosynthetic, so appropriate aquarium lighting is part of their general care.
• Its tentacles can sting nearby corals; allow room around it and monitor neighboring livestock.
• Gentle to moderate, indirect water movement helps keep the tentacles moving without directing a harsh current at the coral.
