I've had one going on 3 years now. I notice he likes lower light and low to moderate flow. I tried to put him in higher light and higher flow, even after slowing increasing light and flow he just didn't seam to like it and would lose color in higher light. Any specific questions you had on them?
Just trying to figure out on how to keep one alive.Has yours added any new heads?

Ive had great success with them in the past. I dont target feed they just take in whatever is fed to the fish which has a mix of coral food (coral frenzy, polyp lab, reef chili, chalice power) and I dont touch them. I feel the biggest problem with torches is they fall over or hermits walk on them or they dont have a proper area to stay affixed. Not to mention a lot of aussie gold torches come in with those barnacles embedded in them which can die and cause brown jelly disease. My gold torch has a barnacle (alive) and it has split four times due to the barnacle inside. When they come in from australia they are thrown in the bag without protection or a styro to float them, so it all depends on how rough the transit was. Sometimes they come in good, sometimes they all break down into brown jelly.
