24k Gold Torch
24K Gold Torch is a classic Indonesian torch with long flowing tentacles and a warm gold color. Once fully extended, the long tentacles move constantly with the flow and give the colony that loose, waving look torches are known for.
It’s a good old-school Indonesian gold torch with plenty of movement and color.

We recommend starting the 24k Gold Torch in the 125 - 200 PAR range.
Flow — Moderate to High
Moderate to High
Provide Moderate to High variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Torch. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Mid level
Placement of your 24k Gold Torch is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 125 - 200 PAR range it will need to be mounted Mid level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Branching growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
