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, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden light increases. Observe polyp response and adjust placement slowly rather than making abrupt changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow that keeps the coral clear without blasting its fleshy polyps. Avoid direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Introduce it gradually to the chosen light and flow conditions.

Temperament

Allow space around this semi-aggressive coral. Keep it from contacting neighboring corals, as close placement can lead to stinging and irritation.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually, especially when increasing lighting or water movement. Watch for polyp inflation, tissue response, and nearby coral contact, then adjust placement or flow as needed.

Give this coral stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from its neighbors.
