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 and avoid sudden increases in intensity, which can stress this coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate spacing from nearby corals. Introduce it gradually to its final light and flow exposure.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral room from neighbors. Maintain spacing to reduce the chance of contact with nearby corals and avoid crowding as it settles in.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and make changes slowly. Watch for responses to lighting, flow, and nearby coral contact, then adjust placement if needed rather than making sudden changes.

Provide gentle acclimation, stable care, and adequate space from neighboring corals.
