Gold Torch Corals are a captivating LPS coral species that add striking movement and vibrant colour to any reef aquarium. Each polyp displays golden tentacles with contrasting tips that sway gracefully in the current, creating a mesmerizing display in medium to large Australian reef tanks. Known for their elegance and moderate hardiness, Gold Torch Corals are ideal for intermediate reef keepers seeking a coral that offers both beauty and dynamic motion. Over time, with proper care, they can develop into flourishing colonies that become the centerpiece of any marine display.

Fish Tank Compatibility
Gold Torch Corals are semi-aggressive and require space around each polyp to prevent stinging neighbouring corals. They are compatible with most reef-safe fish such as clownfish, gobies, tangs, and wrasses. Avoid coral-nipping species like butterflyfish or some angelfish to maintain the coral’s health and polyp integrity.
Lighting Needs
These corals thrive under moderate to high LED reef lighting, which enhances their golden hues and promotes healthy growth. When introducing a new polyp, acclimate it slowly to the aquarium lighting to prevent stress or bleaching.
Water Flow Requirements
Provide moderate, indirect water flow that allows the tentacles to wave naturally without being blasted by strong currents. Proper water movement encourages nutrient exchange, keeps debris off the coral, and supports healthy polyp extension.
Tank Size & Placement
Gold Torch Corals are best suited to medium to large marine aquariums. Place each polyp with sufficient space around it to expand and grow. Consistent reef tank parameters and regular maintenance will help ensure this coral thrives and maintains its vibrant colour and movement.
