Color & Appearance

NY Knicks Torch Corals are prized for their combination of golden tentacles, contrasting tips, and green coloration around the oral disc.

Color intensity and appearance can change depending on lighting spectrum, intensity, aquarium conditions, and viewing angle.

Each specimen is unique, so coloration and pattern will naturally vary.

Placement & Growth

Place the Torch on secure rockwork where its fleshy polyps have plenty of room to fully extend.

Torch Corals can develop long sweeper tentacles capable of stinging neighboring corals. Provide generous space around the colony and avoid placing sensitive corals immediately nearby.

As a branching Torch grows, additional heads may develop and create a larger, fuller colony.

Lighting & Water Flow

Provide low to moderate reef lighting with moderate, indirect water movement.

Flow should cause the tentacles to gently sway rather than violently whip around. Excessive direct flow can prevent proper extension and potentially damage the coral's fleshy tissue.

Gradual acclimation is recommended when introducing the coral to stronger lighting.

Feeding & Nutrition

NY Knicks Torch Coral receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis but may benefit from occasional supplemental feeding.

Small portions of appropriately sized meaty reef foods can be offered periodically.

Stable calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and nutrient levels help support skeletal growth, coloration, and overall health.

Recommended Water Parameters

Temperature: 75–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm

Consistent water chemistry is particularly important for LPS corals.
