The Gold Stem Purple Tip Torch grows well in my reef tank with proper lighting and zooplankton feeding. I’ve had to keep it isolated from other corals due to its aggressive nature, but it’s a striking addition to the display.

It’s a beautiful coral with vibrant coloration. I provide medium water flow and feed it zooplankton regularly. Just make sure to keep it separate from other corals to avoid damage.

Grew well under 120 PAR lighting. The color is impressive, but it did push another coral out of its space. I now keep it in a dedicated corner of the tank.
