Water flow for torch

[frankin09]

Is this amount of flow good?

I would maybe turn the flow down a tiny bit or move the torch a tiny bit. You want it swaying like a tree in the breeze. It might be able to handle where it's at but in my opinion I would have it in a little bit less of flow. Best of luck

Like most large polyp stony corals, a torch coral benefits from moderate water flow. The polyps will remain retracted and under-inflated if the water current is too fast because the large flowing polyps are prone to rip and tear in high or ultra-high current conditions.
The torch coral is a photosynthetic coral which has a relationship with symbiotic zooxanthellae that lives inside its tissues that converts the light into energy which feeds the coral. While its possible to keep a torch without any feeding, mysis shrimp will satisfy them
The best placement for a torch coral is in a location that gets moderate water flow and moderate-intensity lighting.
