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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start the coral under gentler light and acclimate gradually, avoiding sudden increases that can stress its fleshy polyps.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing it to direct, aggressive water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with moderate space around it. Acclimate slowly when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Allow room between this semi-aggressive coral and nearby corals. Maintain spacing to reduce contact and potential stinging issues, especially as surrounding colonies expand.

Feeding

Occasional small meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid blasting food across the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Make adjustments gradually, particularly when introducing it to a new tank or changing nearby circulation patterns.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighbors.
