How to grow a torch coral quickly?

[gizzo12]

I got this torch coral from my lfs and its pretty small and I just really want to grow it out fast. Are there any tips to increase growth rate?

Looks more like a frogspawn to me.

This is actually called a frogspawn coral, and it will appreciate being fed regularly, a couple times per week. Things like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, arctic copepods rotifers things like that.

They required feeding variety of foods, clean water, flow and light. They also like high nutrients, keeping them at 5ppm nitrates and 0.05ppm phosphate works for me

Yep, a nice frogspawn. Here's a pretty good article: https://www.aquariumsource.com/frogspawn-coral/ Personally, I like a little more flow than most recommend and feed a variety of frozen foods and Fauna Marin Ultra LPS.
BTW, torches, hammers and frogspawn are in the genus Euphyllia and if you buy others and decide to put them close together be careful because they can be aggressive towards one another. Hammers and frogspawns do okay together; torches require significant distance. All are easy to keep and attractive IMHO and add motion to your tank.

Wait that’s funny because I originally went there to see if they had any frogspawn and the guy said no but he said “there’s this torch and it’s similar” So I guess I got what I wanted haha
