Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid sudden light increases, then watch the coral’s response before making further adjustments.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its fleshy polyps to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with moderate placement and make changes gradually as it settles into the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral can sting nearby specimens, so leave room around it and monitor interactions after placement.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and excess food should not be allowed to collect around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe polyp behavior after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and adjust placement only when necessary to support a consistent environment.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space from neighbors.
