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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and increase only gradually, since sudden lighting changes can stress this coral.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the fleshy polyps from receiving a direct, aggressive blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final position, especially when moving it into brighter light or stronger water movement.

Temperament

Give it moderate spacing from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive LPS coral may affect close neighbors, so avoid crowding and monitor its reach after placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional small meaty foods can be offered. Feed carefully and observe how the coral responds before establishing a routine.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes slowly. Avoid sudden increases in lighting or water movement, check that polyps remain comfortably positioned, and adjust placement if the coral appears bothered by its surroundings.

Provide steady care, indirect flow, and room from neighboring corals.
