LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch Care Guide
LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch is a torch coral that does best with stable reef chemistry, indirect movement, and clear space for long sweeper tentacles.
- Care level
- Moderate
- Suggested PAR
- 100–200
- Water flow
- Moderate, indirect
- Placement
- Lower to middle reef
- Aggression
- High
- Feeding
- Optional, up to weekly
What LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch needs
Give the polyps enough indirect flow to move without folding hard against the skeleton. Start near the lower end of the PAR range and increase slowly. Leave several inches of clearance from other corals because sweepers can reach well beyond the daytime polyp footprint.
Stable water targets
Use these as a steady operating range, not numbers to chase from day to day.

- Salinity
- 1.025–1.026 SG
- Alkalinity
- 8–9 dKH
- Calcium
- 420–450 ppm
- Magnesium

How to acclimate LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch
- Inspect the bag and coral on arrival. Photograph any shipping concern before opening the bag, then follow the store's live-arrival instructions.
- Match temperature, inspect the coral under white light, and use a coral dip that is appropriate for the coral group. Do not add shipping water to the display.
- Begin below the final light intensity for the first several days. Move or raise intensity gradually while watching tissue and polyp response.
LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch care questions
Where should I place LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch?
Start at Lower to middle reef. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
How much flow does LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch need?
Use Moderate, indirect flow. The goal is steady gas exchange and debris removal without folded tissue, exposed skeleton, or polyps held in one direction.
Should I feed LT Triple Head Dragons Gold Torch?
Recommended frequency: Optional, up to weekly. Feed only when the coral shows a response, use appropriately sized food, and remove uneaten food before it irritates the tissue.
