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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases in intensity that can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough to avoid blasting the fleshy polyps while still keeping the coral clear of settled debris.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and make lighting or flow adjustments gradually rather than all at once.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from nearby corals. Leave adequate spacing to reduce the chance of stinging or contact as neighboring corals expand.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral regularly for its response to light, flow, and nearby neighbors. Avoid sudden changes in water movement or lighting, and adjust placement carefully if the coral appears unsettled.

Steady care and thoughtful spacing support long-term success with this LPS coral.
