Feeding & Nutrition
Dragon Soul Torches benefit from supplemental feeding despite relying primarily on photosynthesis. They accept mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, reef roids, LPS pellets, and minced seafood. Feeding 1–2 times weekly enhances growth, polyp fullness, and color vibrancy. Target feeding during peak extension gives the best results.
Notes
Provide ample space—Dragon Soul Torches have long sweeper tentacles and can sting nearby corals.
Avoid high, direct flow which can cause polyp damage or recession.
Stability in alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium is crucial for long-term health and color retention.
A premium centerpiece coral ideal for display tanks, collectors, and torch-dominated gardens.
