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, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a moderate location and adjust gradually only after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow space from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive coral can sting nearby specimens, so avoid crowding and maintain a clear buffer.

Feeding

Offer occasional small meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize consistent conditions and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, provide moderate placement, and routinely watch for changes in tissue appearance or extension.

Give it space, gentle acclimation, and steady reef conditions.
