This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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, especially when moving it into brighter areas, and avoid sudden lighting increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate placement in mind. Allow time to acclimate before changing its position or increasing light and flow.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral space from nearby corals. Leave room between colonies to reduce contact and potential stinging issues as polyps expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional small meaty foods can be offered when practical, while avoiding excess food that could affect water quality.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe polyp response after any change. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, and make adjustments gradually so the coral can settle into its placement.

A measured setup and consistent routine support long-term success.
