Torch coral placement

[Jon532]

Still new to the hobby... picked up a torch coral for my 120 gal
What's the best placement for this coral? The tank is lit by two kessil a360

Like most corals I would acclimate them starting on the sand bed or a frag rack before picking a final placement. Torches can usually handle a fair amount of light and flow. I have my torch in the center of my tank directly under LED lighting and right at the converging point of two powerheads. Opens fully and waves around all day long.

These corals are not too demanding when it comes down to lighting & flow, but DO give them a wide birth though.

What are the kessil settings you're using? Sometimes, if I didn't have space or patientince to put on sandbed, I would locate on rock and put some layers of black needlepoint plastic mesh over the top to shade, and pull one layer or so off every couple of days.

I have good success with the torch half to bottom of the tank with very little flow, where the torch is barely swaying back and forth. I've noticed when I crank up the flow it will not fully expand.
