Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Avoid abrupt lighting changes, particularly when introducing the coral or relocating it within the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without directing a strong stream at the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas on a secure surface. Begin in a location with indirect flow and adjust only after observing how the polyps respond.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. This aggressive coral has tentacles that can sting neighboring corals, especially as its polyps expand and move with the current.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired; feeding is optional. Feed gently and avoid forcefully blasting food onto the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, especially salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Monitor polyp extension and tissue condition after introduction or adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement, making changes gradually when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and ample space from neighboring corals.
