WYSIWYG Coral
The coral pictured is the exact specimen you will receive—guaranteed. Every WYSIWYG coral is photographed individually, then carefully conditioned and monitored until shipment.
Because it remains alive and growing in our system, its size and shape may naturally develop after the photograph is taken. While it waits for its new home, we carefully maintain stable conditions to keep its coloration as true to the photograph as possible.

LT Joker Torch Care Guide
LT Joker 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 Joker 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.
- Temperature
- 76–79°F
- Salinity
- 1.025–1.026 SG
- Alkalinity
- 8–9 dKH
- Calcium
- 420–450 ppm
- Magnesium
- 1300–1400 ppm
- Nitrate
- 5–15 ppm
- Phosphate
- 0.03–0.10 ppm
How to acclimate LT Joker 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 Joker Torch care questions
Where should I place LT Joker 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 Joker 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 Joker 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.
