Orange Peel Torch Corals feature orangish-gold tentacles with contrasting teal or light blue tips. The “Orange Peel” name describes the warm orange tint within the gold coloration; Torch corals do not display a completely pure orange tentacle color photos of "Orange" torch corals are the result of inaccurate camera settings or photo editing.

Color intensity and tip coloration vary among individual specimens and under different aquarium lighting. Use the variant photographs to compare the exact coral available.

Provide indirect water movement that keeps the tentacles gently swaying without forcefully pushing them to one side. Torch Corals have a powerful sting and require ample space from neighboring corals. Stable alkalinity and calcium are important for long-term health and skeletal growth.
