🍽️ Care & Feeding
Torch corals are photosynthetic but benefit from occasional feeding to support growth and maintain colour vibrancy.
Feed 1× weekly with:
-
Small meaty foods (mysis, finely chopped krill)
-
Reef roids or LPS-specific powdered foods
Feed gently with pumps paused to avoid excessive aggression.
